I cant search in the web search bar since 89.0 update (black arrow in picture). It just goes to address bar (red arrow in picture)which i dont like to search in. Is there a way it can be changed?

You can turn it off by going to about:config and switching browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar to false.
