Center-screen search bar defaults to address bar

Hello,

I have a situation - which I had previously researched and resolved - that has come back to haunt me.

I use an ultra-widescreen monitor and searching/browsing obviously necessitates a center-screen search box which, up until now, Firefox has provided cleanly and with simplicity. However, I see that (once again) despite cursor placement in the center-screen box the search text is being entered in the address bar which is wholly impractical for me since I have to look about 60 degrees left and upwards to see what I am typing.

I say "again" because when this happened previously I was able to make a config change and resolve it but despite that still being in effect - the ".handoffToAwesomebar" is still set to FALSE - search text now has moved back to the address bar.

A brief search of this community yielded no answers. Is there any other known fix or has this now be thrust upon us permanently and thou shalt adapt?

Thanks in advance....

Mozilla will restore the removed handoffToAwesomebar preference in a future update, most likely in Firefox 149 (currently in Beta) or possibly in a Firefox 148 dot release. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2017049#c19

I also am annoyed by the ADDRESS BAR SEARCH. Due to visual impairment (glaucoma, age, etc), I need to increase the size of fonts. That is not practical with the ADDRESS BAR SEARCH (which also is annoying due to its position in a large format screen). Whereas it is a simple matter to incrementally increase font size in the centered SEARCH FIELD.
