I Type into the search bar, hit RETURN KEY and get "ABOUT:BLANK:, a new empty page.

When I want to search something I usually open a new tab (Ctr+T) then quickly hit Tab so my typing indicator goes from the Address Bar to the Search Bar, but with a recent update there is now a "Search Selection" part that is in the way so I have to hit Tab twice.
I know this seems petty but I have been the simplest happiest minimalist user for the past 25 years and I've never had issues with Ctr+T followed by Tab to search something. Why did you implement a change that I am sure nobody has ever asked? Please revert it back or explain to my fatigued mind how to do it if it is possible.

In previous versions of Firefox, using an alternative search engine was seamless: I just typed my keywords and clicked the specific search engine icon.
With the current update, the workflow is much longer. Now I have to:
1. Type the keywords 2. Click the dropdown arrow 3. Select the alternative search engine icon 4. Hit Enter
Why was this UX change made? It feels like a step backward.
Do you have a search engine that I can use in place of google

Every time I want to search an item or word, you now take me out of the search bar and throw me on to the address bar, which I really have to struggle to read. This has been going on now for quite some time. my question is WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM?? I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO GO TO config TO DO IT MYSELF. FIX IT ON YOUR END NOT MINE! And now as I scroll down, I see you've made some guesses. Then information gives details about the internal workings of your browser, IT'S NOT MY BROWSER, IT'S YOURS. FIX IT

I am trying to change my search over to Mozilla and firefox. When I open up the firebox search the google search pops in. Why? I already discouraged because I know they are attempting control. The last two years I have been hacked almost every month. The whole problem has been ongoing for almost 20 years.

I use Mozilla's Firefox as my default browser. I recently noticed as I surf the Internet, Bing surreptitiously intercedes for Firefox. Why is this? How does this happen? There is nothing I can do to stop it, or change it. Why? I do not want that. Is that okay with the folks at Mozilla?

Perhaps set the previous iteration of the search bar as an option in the settings. Not having easy access to all my search engines at once, and having to spend those extra seconds to click on the search icon, select the one I want to use in the new list layout, wastes precious time. This is a real boon to my productivity and would love a return.

Since I got my first computer in the 1980s the centered search bar has been the window for searching. It sits at a comfortable height for my eyes and is not surrounded by visual clutter. Since the address bar first appeared as an alternative for searching I have consistently disabled or overridden it. It is bad visual design; it is visually inconvenient, and to many of us who have used consumers for decades, it is not how a computer screen should look.
Now comes the newest version, which locks users into one way of doing things. Well, Newsflash: A lot of us want the freedom to use an operating system that responds to us, not vice-versa.
I think you are not making a lot of friends with this version. Rather than trying to spin it as something great, which it isn't, why not admit it's a problem, and rewrite it to make it more useful to everyone?
