All of a sudden (after a recent update I suppose) every time I start to type anything in the "search" in the middle of my "home" screen, the curser jumps to the address space in the toolbar. I hate that! I want to continue to use search in the middle of the screen as I have for years since I started using browsers. I've tried looking at the setting for "browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar" and it is set to "false" as was recommended in another post some years ago. What do I have to do to revert back to the way it was before this change was forced on me?

Home page shortcuts disappearing

The main reason I use Firefox rather than Chrome or Edge is because Firefox allows 32 home page shortcuts. I configure my home page with all 4 available rows of 8, pinned in position so they are grouped based on function, along with putting the home page icon on the toolbar. On several occasions these have disappeared and the 'popular sites' do not load. I have had to use Control Panel -> uninstall program to 'fix' Firefox; this causes all my shortcuts to disappear, along with the toolbar 'home' icon and '4 row' display. I am running Windows 10 Pro, and will be migrating to Windows 11 Pro on a new computer. Will this issue be fixed with Firefox running on Win 11? Is there a way to easily save my home page settings so that if they disappear I can reload them? Thanks!

I was really shocked and horrified to see Firefox place the Qatari regime's propaganda mouthpiece on my home screen. The Qatari regime is one of the worlds worst abusers of human rights. It allows no political parties, tolerates no criticism, and severely punishes online dissent. It has absolutely no LGBQ rights, is deeply misogynistic and antisemitic and uses slave labor extensively. Additionally, it is a known supporter of extremism and terrorism. It is not OK to push their propaganda outlet on the front page.
