Hello again......

Firefox has a search engine on the home page that when you enter information it converts to a small tab at the top of the Home Page...... In Microsoft Edge you put your information in the big square box in the center of the homepage and it does not convert to a tab at the top of the page... which makes it easier for people with slight vision problems to read.......

I am getting some advice on how to tweak this to get it to work ...but.... at the same time, it can cause instability in Fire Fox......

Solution: I want Firefox to correct this problem with an update to Firefox that will help anyone and everyone with this problem once and for all ..............

Thankyou for your help, .... Leonard C.

You can try to set this pref to false on the about:config page.

  • about:config => browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar = false

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. If you get the warning page, you can click the "Accept the Risk and Continue" button.
