adress line keeps turning into big searchbox
every time i open new tab the address line doubles in size and turns into a search-box. the new tab IS a search engine and i do not want this action. i have separate search-box on the same toolbar. i removed an addon, changed settings that i can find and still get it. noticed forefox crashing occasionally after this started up.

in about:config adjust browser.urlbar.openViewOnFocus browser.urlbar.update1 browser.urlbar.update1.interventions browser.urlbar.update1.searchTips
warning: these settings may be removed in a future update so you may have to eventually deal with the newer urlbar changes at some point.
tried that. got something about selecting boolean string and something else.

Hello TsDeane,
Maybe you thought that it was one long preference instead of four different preferences ?
Like :
browser.urlbar.openViewOnFocus
and set its value to false
Do the same with these preferences :
browser.urlbar.update1
browser.urlbar.update1.interventions
browser.urlbar.update1.searchTips
Then close and restart Firefox.
