When are you going to activate the central search bar in Firefox. I do not like at all the top address bar.

It is very annoying that you suddenly change the way most users got used to searching in Firefox. I am not the only one who complains about this particular and sudden change, after updating Firefox. Please reinstate the central search bar of Firefox asap. It makes one wonder what else you might think of changing with the next Firefox update! At least give the users of Firefox a previous notice of what changes come with every update. I am thinking very seriously of dropping Firefox and use Brave, if the problem is not solved asap. One of your staff mentioned that this problem would have been solved by 10th March. Till this very moment nothing has happened!! This is not a thread but a serious complaint. I have been using Firefox for a long long time. I would like to be able to use it provided I can use it the way I am used it.

148.0.2 release notes: Fixed an issue where searches entered in the Firefox Home search field were incorrectly redirected to the address bar for some users who had disabled search handoff behavior via advanced settings. (Bug 2017049)
