I am very irritated - I was using the search bar and it no longer operates. Then - without warning - a new version appeared and I have NO IDEA how to operate my browswer = without warning!!!

I get the frustration. Firefox can look pretty different after an update, but you shouldn’t have to relearn the whole browser just to do a search. For now, try using the address bar at the top of Firefox you can type a search term there and press Enter.

If you specifically want the old separate Search Bar back, go to Menu ☰ → More Tools → Customize Toolbar, find Search and drag it back onto the toolbar. If the Search Bar is still there but simply doesn’t work, try Help → Troubleshoot Mode. That will tell you whether an extension or setting is interfering with it.
