After the update today when I type in the lower Google search window (in the middle of the page) it opens the upper URL dropdown with clutter I don't need and will not let me use the lower window to type a search. How to I get back to how it worked before?

You can turn it off by going to about:config and switching browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar to false.
