The search mode is taken over by....? Unwanted suggestions, whenever I start typing ANYTHING.
When I start typing in the "Search with Google or enter address" window, firefox gets me to the address bar and suggests scores of useless suggestions. The question does not stay in the window. When I am solving a crossword puzzle, I am getting useless suggestions - cannot finish the task. Same with other situations. It seems the the programme is trying to guess what I want? How can I disable it? All this have started after the latest update. I have mozilla Firefox 89.0 (X64 en-GB) I have installed in my computer Google Chrome as well and it works perfectly well - so it is not my computer acting up! Please help Peter

Hi Peter, there's a new feature in Firefox 89 that jumps your cursor from the built-in home/new tab page search box up to the address bar. Here's how you can revert to the old behavior:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.
(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste handoff and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar preference to switch the value from true to false
Success?
