Chosen solution

In Firefox 89, when you start typing a search in the Firefox Home / new tab page, the cursor immediately moves to the address bar. The address bar gives different suggestions, including history and bookmarks.

To change this back to the old way:

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.

(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste handoff and pause while the list is filtered

(3) Double-click the browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar preference to switch the value from true to false

Success?
