Search from main window not address search

Post by theta30 »

When I am on home page at Firefox there is a search window. When I type on that, the typing automatically appears on address bar. How can I actually search on that search window and not on address bar?
I already put keyword enable false.That is I turned off address bar search.

In about:config search for handoff and make the following preference false.
browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar

Yes, that solves the issue.
