RE: Settings and Search

_1. Go to Firefox SETTINGS __

_2. From SETTINGS, click on SEARCH __

_3. Attached snippets / screenshots show nice shortcut to toggle on-off auxiliary Search Bar on the Toolbar. Version 121.0.1 has the shortcut. Version 122.0 does not have the shortcut. __

_4. Please issue an update that will restore this shortcut. __

_5. FYI, I did figure out that you can navigate to SETTINGS, MORE TOOLS, CUSTOMIZE TOOLBAR, and FIND in order to add or remove the auxiliary Search Bar on the Toolbar. But the shortcut in illustrated in the screenshot of Version 121.0.1 was so much simpler!

The search bar is considered legacy and they don't want to encourage users to enable it.
