search box on Firefox home page
Trying to use the seach box in the centre of the Firefox homepage (google search engine) .. everything I type goes up to the address bar . Tried changing settings - I see there's a search box option in the 'tool bar' which looks to be up at the side of the address bar. cant understand why we need another one as well as the one in the centre.
Also by turning off suggestions and not choosing the 'search box option in the 'tool bar' , the address bar is now only accepting URLs so searching isnt working.
So ..1. Is the search box in the centre no use?
2. Does search work with all suggestions turned off?

You can turn it off by entering about:config in the URL bar and switching browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar to false.

Excellent - works a treat .. thanks
Thanks for the fix. It's wonderfully ironic how the idiotic setting you need to turn OFF to make things better is called both "improve" and "awesome". Somebody needs a dictionary!
