NOT opening search upon opening new tab

Hello guys, I've recently began using firefox on android. Upon opening a new tab, firefox automatically opens the search bar, and I'm just wondering if there's an option or a dev flag to disable that. I'd rather be looking at my original new tab page.

Hi

If you close Firefox from the open apps option in Android and restart your device, is the screenshot attached above what you see when you open Firefox for Android?

I haven't tried restarting yet. This is what I see when I click new tab from the tab switcher.
