Hello.

In about:config the keyword.enabled false does not work anymore.

So how on earth do we stop this stupid search option in the url bar. When i open a new tab, i'll get on a firefox tab. In the middle I can search (in the search bar), but after typing 1 letter, the search is moved to be in the address bar. WHY????

How to stop this madness?

Thank you for an answer

You can turn it off by entering about:config in the URL bar and switching browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar to false.
