Sorry, that appears to be unrelated to this problem. Incidentally I already have "Show search suggestions" disabled.

I had the opposite problem on one of my devices. After executing the search, the address bar switched to the URL instead of showing only the search terms. That was a tad annoying for me, as I had to retype the search terms to repeat the search with a different search engine. However, just today this behaviour stopped.

Searching again within the search engine page (typically by pressing a magnifier icon) switches the address bar to the URL. Maybe this is helpful for you?

I have Firefox 121.0 (Build #2015991663), 1955f8455f+ GV: 121.0-20231214155439 AS: 121.0

There's no option in the settings to turn off "search terms", what can I do to turn off this garbage??
