Please help with the usage of the small address bar. Not the long one at the top, the one above the pocket and the small icons like facebook and other quick access websites. This is a brand new computer, and everything is different than on my 6 or 7 year old one. In settings everything is the same as in the old computer, but when I start typing, it is in the top search bar. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hey there!

You can set browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar = false on the about:config page. You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can click the button to "Accept the Risk and Continue".

Hope I helped!

Kind regards,
