RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1707701

People

(Reporter: hawkeye7, Unassigned)

Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:89.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/89.0

Steps to reproduce:

Create a new tab to invoke the Firefox home page
Enter a search term in the search bar in the middle of the screen where it says "Search with Google or enter address"
eg "Search with Google or enter address"
Text appears in the URL bar at the top! This is WRONG and
results in an error: "Hmm. That address doesn’t look right."

Actual results:

Text appears in the URL bar at the top!

Possibly should have appeared in the search box at the top instead?
(But would prefer to delete the search box at the top completely, but no option for this.)

Expected results:

Should have conducted a Google search.

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

You can right click on the search glass in the search box and select Remove from Toolbar. You can also remove it in Customize mode, or in about:preferences#search.
