why is my start page search now searching from my address bar?
firefox updated itself today to 89.0 (64-bit) and now when i try to use the search bar on my firefox home page it jumps the text up to the address bar instead of typing into the search bar to search. i do not want to use my address bar to search... it's also annoying to try to use the search bar and have my text show up in another part of the screen.
actually, it doesn't even search, it just types the text in the address bar then tries to go to the address and fails.
how to i reverse this change?
