My Hoepage is set to Firefox. In the center of that page is a Search box which I used always. Now when I try to type in it, my cursor shoots up to the top to the ADDRESS bar. I do NOT want to SEARCH from the address bar. I want to search in the Firefox search box. I also have Duckduckgo set up in that search bar. After the last 2 Firefox updates, I can no longer type my search in that box, but can ONLY search in the ADDRESS bar. Please help be restore the use of the Firefox Search box.

Hi

Thank you for your question about searching the web from the default new tab page in Firefox.

The preference you had set was not a standard setting and was unsupported. As part of forthcoming work to improve the new tab search experience, that preference has been withdrawn as we understand it was only being used by a small part of the user population.

We welcome your feedback on this matter at our feedback site where your feedback gets collected by a team of people who read it and gather data about the most common issues.
