Cursor focus goes to address bar, instead of search box, when opening a firefox window - started after 105.0 update.

See abstract. Updated to Firefox V105.0 today, and now the cursor starts in the address bar, instead of the search box middle of the page. I have tried that "about:config handoff" fix and it doesn't work for me. I think this is about the third or fourth time we have lost the "cursor starts off in the search box" functionality in the last few years, after a Firefox update. Can you code writers leave it in the search box? Please?

I searched for similar problems, before entering my question, but only found old reports, the last time this happened.

p.s. The workaround is back off to the prior Firefox version 104.0.2? The cursor does start in the search box on the prior version.

See the bug report and another thread where the issue is canvassed. It's to be fixed early in October.
