I also do not believe that 0 people have this problem because I see the posts from other disappointed consumers.

Hi

Thank you for your question about searching the web from the default new tab page in Firefox.

The preference that could have been set in the past was not a standard setting and was unsupported. As part of forthcoming work to improve the new tab search experience, that preference has been withdrawn as we understand it was only being used by a small part of the user population.

We welcome your feedback on this matter at our feedback site where your feedback gets collected by a team of people who read it and gather data about the most common issues.

Hello

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1339983 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1565347#answer-1799723, is it your question.

personally I can't fathom the amount of dumb it takes to give you a search box in the middle of the screen but won't let you use it... just updated today an noticed they had to break this config feature so for now I just found a add-on (New Tab Override) and it auto makes my new tabs page googles site. (*add on allow's you to just have a normal google page on a new tab screen with a normal search box you can type in.... an not jumping around).

Hello
