    I have the same thing and took it that was now the new normal.
    It takes some getting used to and is annoying as it seems pointless.
    But I've got over it :)

    I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

    viral kindness .....kindness is contageous pass it on

    The only normal people you know are the ones you don’t know very well

    Now understanding the issue.

    Type the embolden text about:config in address bar and press enter, you should get a page that give you a warning "Changing these preferences can impact Firefox performance or security."
    Where is states "search preference name" copy and paste the embolden text browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar
    In the middle of screen it will state "true" on the right it it show two arrows (toggle is stated when hovering over it), left click the arrows and it should now show false in middle of screen.
    You can now exit that screen and any search in the bar should stay there.
