Before the last Firefox update, when my dad opened Firefox he would start typing in Firefox's home search bar and he would see suggestions below search bar.

But now with the new update when he start to type on that search bar automatically cursor moved to address bar to search from there. He really disagree and it's less accessible to him, now he's asking to me how to revert to the previous behavior.

I searched in all settings but I don't found anything. Is it possible return to previous behavior?
