Hey there! It sounds like you're having a bit of trouble with your search in Firefox. To fix this, let's try clearing your browser's cache and cookies first. Then, if the issue persists, you might want to consider disabling any recently added extensions, as they could sometimes interfere with search behavior. Also, double-check that your default search engine is properly set in your settings. Give these steps a shot and let us know how it goes.

You can set this pref to false on the about:config page to disable this feature.

• browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar = false

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. On the warning page, you can click "Accept the Risk and Continue" to open about:config.
