Firefox new tab has a box in the middle of the page for you to click in and enter text to search in your default search engine - and it immediately starts typing in the URL bar. IF I WANTED TO USE THE URL BAR I WOULD CLICK THERE.
Throws me off every time.
I’m more wondering why you’re clicking on the completely unnecessary box to begin with. It never made sense to add these, might as well just render a giant upwards arrow.
