Firefox new tab page search bar redirects to url line

A few days ago I did a Windows 10 update. Thanks Microsoft for causing me to spend SO much time trying to get things back to normal...

Now when I load a new tab and try to type in the Google search box in the center of that page, my typing goes to the url line. I want to be able to complete what I'm typing before this predictive text feature redirects me to the url line.

Is there a setting I can change to change the behavior?
