Hi wilseade17, You're referring to the way the middle search bar sends searches to the address bar?

You need to go into your Advanced Preferences and make a simple change.

Enter about:config into the address bar and press Enter. Click on Accept the Risk and Continue In the search bar at the top enter browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar At the right end click the toggle icon to change the value to False. Close the tab.
