search jumps to address bar. I NEED THIS TO STOP IT !!! DO YOU UNDERSTAND THIS IS NOT A GREAT THING for ‘Firefox'. Give us a click button to turn this unwanted or unneeded automatic feature. Please don't offer workaround goto edit deep function programing 'work with me' options, just turn it OFF.

You can set this pref to false on the about:config page to disable switching to the address bar for searching.

  • browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar => false

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. On the warning page, click "Accept the Risk and Continue" to open about:config.
