Firefox new tab has a box in the middle of the page for you to click in and enter text to search in your default search engine - and it immediately starts typing in the URL bar. IF I WANTED TO USE THE URL BAR I WOULD CLICK THERE.
Throws me off every time.
That’s a feature, not a bug, and I personally love it.
There’s an about:config setting for that, too. browser.urlbar.autoFill = false
I like the autofill too, just not when I type in the search bar. I like the url and search functions separated in their own bars.
Fair enough, thankfully it’s a pretty easy change to get it how you want!
