In the previous version, there was a search box on the toolbar. After the upgrade, it disappeared. How can I restore it?

I tried to customize toolbar but there is no search box in the window of available controls.

Chosen solution

This was solved by downgrading back to the old version that has the search box.

We don't want anything new from Mozilla since they insist on breaking things, making their software less and less user-friendly, and making it hard for us to be comfortable in our environments.

When you deliver good solutions, we appreciate your work. When you break things and refuse to fix them, there can be no expectation of appreciation on your side. No thanks.

In 115 the search box is not possible on the menu toolbar. It only appears on the Unified toolbar, the topmost space.

What about 66? Not really interested in any other versions.
