New tab requires a click into search bar to type

Hello, When i create a new tab (cntrl + T) I can no longer just start typing and have that be a google search. Now I need to manually click in the search bar. Is there a way to enable it so creating a new tab automatically puts the text into the search bar field?

Not sure why this stopped working, maybe a recent update. Thanks for your help.

Hi Evan, another user reported that in recent days, a survey form was stealing the cursor away from the address bar. Do you see anything like that on your Firefox?

P.S. If so, what is the survey about?

I guess you can let the survey takers know that you don't appreciate being interrupted with surveys. ;-)
