Why'd the settings stop working for search to stay in search?
I set the about:config settings when I got the new computer early last year. It's been working fine. Suddenly, searches are popping up again to the urlbar.
browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar is still set to false. Keyword.enabled is still set to false.
I see a couple of site references to browser.fixup.alternate.enabled, but it doesn't exist.
How do I get FF back to proper search in the search bar?

Hello
For illustration, browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar. https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/address-bar-updates-now-live-in-firefox-nightly/m-p/97642/highlight/true#M38055
Under Firefox 147. browser.fixup.alternate.enabled, the preference is not available in about:config. browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar, the preference is available in about:config and works.

Mozilla needs to change that page, then.
I must have found the handoff parameter before, because it's set to false. The handoff is still happening. That's a problem.
We don't use that pref anymore. Right now that search component is under heavy development, devs removed that pref to make it easier.
