Firefox Android Issue –Search Keyboard Automatically Opens on App Launch

Recently, whenever I open Firefox on my Android phone, the search box automatically gets focused and the keyboard pops up immediately. Previously, the keyboard would only appear after I tapped the search box manually. This change is disrupting my browsing experience. I would prefer the previous behavior where the keyboard only appeared on user interaction.

Please let me know if there's a way to disable this auto-focus behavior or if a setting can revert it.
