Hello, With the latest Firefox update, the search bar in the Firefox Home page has been changed to a redirect to the address bar instead. When you type in the search bar in the Firefox Home it types in the address bar. It really annoys me because if I type "w" now it auto-complete "www.youtube.com" for me, but I just want to search "w". When I wanted to search an address I used the address bar, when I wanted to do a basic search I used the search bar, but now I only have access to the address bar unless I add the side search bar which I find very unpractical. I just wish we could set the Firefox Home search bar to either an address bar or a search bar, but the option is nowhere to be found.

I had the same problem after a recent update. It took days of searching to find the correct solution. Thank you!
