Hello

I tested, Web Search, it works. I tested, browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar, it works.

I have tried that and set it to false and there is still no search bar in the middle of the page

We're moving towards making the search bar on the Firefox homepage work for everybody, without needing a hidden config setting.
