Search Engine toolbar vs Address toolbar
What is the purpose of having a search engine toolbar in the middle of the Firefox screen if when you begin to type something into that toolbar, it immediately throws you up to the address bar? I can't figure out how to disable this ANNOYING feature. Please help.

There is a preference for this but it does take a bit of work to find it because of the unusual name:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.

(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste handoff and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar preference to switch the value from true to false
Success?
