With release of the newest version of Firefox, the search function for me has moved from the search bar up to the address bar, even when I try to initiate the search in the search bar.

How can I reset so that I can conduct my searches from the search bar?

I'm aware of the functionality of the address bar, but I simply don't want to conduct my searches there, nor in the additional search bar that can be added to the right of the address bar.

The only solution that I want is to use the search bar that appears beneath the Firefox logo to conduct my searches. Please let me know whether or not that's possible and, if so, how to adjust settings to accomplish this.

Thank you for your help!
