RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1713827

People

(Reporter: aj.barker, Unassigned)

Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:89.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/89.0

Steps to reproduce:

I have the toolbar set to have separate navigation and search fields.

Open firefox start page and start typing in search field(There's no go button anymore either) and the cursor jumps to the navigation bar, not the search field.

Actual results:

The cursor jumps to the navigation field so that when I hit enter to search it tries to navigate to the search terms that I entered which isn't a valid operation

Expected results:

It should have search for the search terms I entered like it used to. Someone thought they were being clever and failed. What the hell are you people doing? I'm seriously considering switching back to Chrome or going to Edge after what you people have done to the browsers on desktop and mobile. Whoever is in charge of the roadmap needs to be replaced. There's just a lot of bad choices being made.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Address Bar' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Component: Untriaged → Address Bar

I have the toolbar set to have separate navigation and search fields.

I'm assuming you have keyword.enabled set to false. If so, this is a dupe of bug 1713827.

EDIT: Actually, sorry, that could be a wrong assumption. Do you just mean you use the separate search bar in the toolbar? Do you have search suggestions enabled in the Urlbar?
