With the new update, (when I just want to search something) I try to type in the center bar, not the address bar up on top. But it automatically goes up in the top address bar. How can I get that search bar to work? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

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