Steps to reproduce:

1. Have Google as the default search engine.

2. Type a search string into the address bar.

3. The address bar briefly shows a URL for the Google Search results.

4. The address bar is very quickly overwritten with the original search string.

See screenshot for example.

How do I stop step #4 happening? I want the URL to remain in the address bar, for example to be able to give somebody a link which executes the google search.

I think this is new in FF121.

I found the problem: I needed to uncheck "Show search terms instead of URL on default search engine results page" in Settings.

Not sure if the default for this changed, or if I had inadvertently changed it myself.
