Hi, I'm trying to stop search from jumping to the address bar.

browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar is not working.

Nor is keyword.enabled.

Cleared the cache etc. Odd time it works but goes back once restarted.

It has worked in the past. Could you help please Thanks Guy

There is a perfectly functional search bar in the middle of my homepage. why do I have to search with the anything but "awesomebar"? I have made so many changes to about:config true to false false to true firefox will probably never work again properly. There should be a check box somewhere in settings to toggle this on and off. Newer is not always better

This is the 3rd time I have had to post this. I am getting very frustrated. I DO NOT want the search engine within my address bar. Nothing anyone from you "community" helped to disable the search engine in my address bar. Opera, Edge, Chrome, the user can disable the search engine in the address bar. Why is Firefox so different? And difficult?

I had to remove the Recommended stories from the home page. every source was a left leaning outlet. How is someone supposed to get a balanced news snapshot if all the sources have the same biased tilt?

So, my issue started off with just new tabs loading slow/not properly loading at all. So I attempted a Firefox refresh as I've seen some people suggest only to see that there was no Firefox refresh button in my settings. So I went through the process of uninstalling it, but was paused when it prompted me to perform a Firefox refresh, but it did nothing. So I went and actually uninstalled it and reinstalled it and nothing changed except for the fact that now my New Tab page was completely blank and I couldn't search anything at all. I restarted my laptop to see if it'd help (it didn't) But when I went to try and uninstall it again, it wasn't listed in with my apps so I just deleted it. I installed it again, still nothing. Did the previous step of deleting it and reinstalling it again and still nothing. As a last ditch effort, I tried to install a slightly different version of Firefox and although I had to go through the whole process of installing it this time, the result is still the same with my New Tab being completely blank and I'm unable to search anything or even open the settings Honestly about ready to change browsers even though I've only been using it for about four days

Dear Firefox:

My Firefox New Tab Page will not load properly in normal mode but it will load in troubleshoot mode. The new tab is the normal typical Firefox start page. It has multiple sections with links to many sites. These "links" just flicker. They do not fully load.

When I turn on troubleshoot mode, everything loads fine.

Thanks

Recently, my blank new tab page isn't blank but has an "Say hello to Firefox profiles" message/ad on the first session after I start up. I would like never to see that or any other notifications on my new tab pages. I want them to stay blank. Is there a setting in about:config? thanks!

Когда я начинаю вводить запрос в строку поиска по центру страницы, ввод автоматически переносится в адресную строку. Я хочу, чтобы ввод текста происходил непосредственно в поле поиска по центру страницы.

I opened Firefox this morning and all of my pinned shortcuts have disappeared. Shortcuts are enabled in the settings. I checked the browser.newtabpage.pinned pref on the about:config and all of my pinned shortcuts are still there, but they're not appearing on the actual page itself. Are there any other settings that I'm not aware of?

Over the last couple of months, Firefox has automatically added Favorites to my home screen. If I delete one of these another replaces it.

Where do I go to stop this?

Since update yesterday, new tab is empty. Whatever I do, open new tab, open new window, go to `about:newtab` manually, it does not load anything. The view is totally blank. I can navigate to other pages fine as it should though. Only New Tab view is broken. Diagnostic mode does not work. I don't have plugins that would affect New Tab anyways.

I would like to remove the search options from the address bar because I preferred the old setup with a separate search window (and the address bar was just unable to perform searches). How can I set this up?

Hello Long ago I turned off search in address bar. Today it decided to resume search on that area. I searched help and the followed instruction for about:config. I've and see I've already set as required "browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar" it is set to false. What do I do to fix this. I really find search in address bar confusing.
