Prior to Version 23 I set Wikipedia as the default search option in the location bar and Google as the search engine on the Firefox Start Page.

Now with Version 23 whatever I set in the location bar is used in the Start Page--in other words, it's duplicated.

Why was this change made by Mozilla? Please explain how this was an improvement.
