Use the Search Box, rather than the address bar, to type searches

I don't like to use the address bar to type searches. I like using the SEARCH BOX in Firefox's New Tab instead. But, with each update, I once again have to try to figure out how to set Firefox searches to be typed in the search box. Is there any way to set this so it doesn't get changed with every update?

Hi,

Sorry for the inconvenience. The team is working on implementing a modern embedded search UI for the New Tab. Once it's there, it will be enabled by default.

Please also note that for now, unfortunately, you won't be able to change that behavior. The old code has been removed to clean up space for the new one
