Hi, I'm trying to stop search from jumping to the address bar.

browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar is not working.

Nor is keyword.enabled.

Cleared the cache etc. Odd time it works but goes back once restarted.

It has worked in the past. Could you help please Thanks Guy

Hi

Thank you for your question about searching the web from the default new tab page in Firefox.

The preference you had set was not a standard setting and was unsupported. As part of forthcoming work to improve the new tab search experience, that preference has been withdrawn as we understand it was only being used by a small part of the user population.

We welcome your feedback on this matter at our feedback site where your feedback gets collected by a team of people who read it and gather data about the most common issues.

Mozilla will restore the removed handoffToAwesomebar preference in a future update, most likely in Firefox 149 (currently in Beta) or possibly in a Firefox 148 dot release. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2017049#c19
