Since updating to the latest version of Firefox I am having problems with the search facility. When I open a new tab it brings up the 'Search with Google' page as usual but as I start typing the text appears in the address box in a tiny font and the 'suggestions' drop-down list completely obscures the Google search box I am trying to type into! Have tried a few different settings but have been unable to change it - this is a problem for me as I wear glasses and need a reasonably large font when searching.

In the latest version of Firefox (89) I have lost the use of the Firefox search box (middle of Firefox home page). Each time I enter anything in this box, the search automatically reverts/switches to the browser search in the menu bar at the top of the page. Is there a fix for this as there's no point in having an option which can't be used?

With the new update, everything looks different. So is the small search bar in the middle of the page. What I mean is that for a simple search I would type there, not the big address bar at the top. Well, when I start typing, it goes up into the address bar at the top. I got a reply from someone but even the 3 bar at the top right side gives me different menu. How do I get the small search bar working? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Recently, Firefox on Windows has started to add excessive whitespace (or grayspace, I guess I should say!) around the "Show All Bookmarks" item at the bottom of the bookmarks menu, and the "Open All In Tabs" item at the bottom of the submenu for each bookmarks folder.

Is there a preference that reverts this, or does it need something in userChrome.css?

How do I make my browser display go back to the settings that it had on 2 June 2021? I am very unhappy with the last update which customized my browser. The look is awful compared to the last iteration. I was happy with what it looked like before. Whoever thought that the tabs belong at the very top of the page? This update is very aggravating. What do I change it back to what i had yesterday? I'm running Windows 10, and I think I have Firefox Version 89.0. Thank you.

When the first character is type into the web search box on the default Firefox homepage, the cursor jumps to the address box and opens the search suggestions. Was this changed intended or is it a bug? This change in behavior renders the web search useless.

I tried the usual debug steps, disabling add-ons, turning option off and on, with no change in behavior.
