PLEASE MOVE THE SEARCH BACK TO WHERE IT BELONGS AND NOT IN THE TOP URL BAR. IT IS A PAIN IN THE ASS FOR INSTRUCTORS, IT IS A PAIN IN THE ASS FOR STUDENTS. IT IS A PAIN FOR SENIOR CITIZEN WHO HAVE VISUAL IMPAIRMENTS... IT TOTALL SUCK! YES, I AM SHOUTING!

THE NEXT SUGGESTION IS TO MOVE TO EDGE. THAT IS COMING SOON I AM JUST SICK AND TIRE OF ATTEMPTING TO USE A SECOND RATE BROWSER.

ENTER about:config IN THE ADDRESS BAR AND SET browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar = FALSE.

Note that it isn't guaranteed that this pref will keep working.

What you see on the new tab page is actually a fake search bar (.fake-textbox) with a fake caret (.fake-caret).
