This is the 3rd time I have had to post this. I am getting very frustrated. I DO NOT want the search engine within my address bar. Nothing anyone from you "community" helped to disable the search engine in my address bar. Opera, Edge, Chrome, the user can disable the search engine in the address bar. Why is Firefox so different? And difficult?

This cryptic response does not help me. And neither has Mozilla and Firefox. Changing briwsers.

What is the question again? You can disable every search engine in Settings -> Search.

Mozilla, Fire Fox Please stop this Searching from the address bar. Totally unnecessary, Mozilla PLEASE STOP it's frustrating and annoying. Have an option to have it your way not a fix. the awesome bar works for me but my wife whom I've pleaded to use Firefox is having issues with her Apple it keeps reverting back to this disastrous address bar situation. Please stop with this forcing of the the ##address bar search. STOP, Stop, stop.

Thank you in advance, Fire Fox On!
