What happened to the search bar that used to be to the right of the address bar
There used to be a search bar to the right of the address bar. You could select search engines and get suggestions. Not on my version 56.0. Has it been eliminated? Can I get it back?

Hi !
This could be caused by an extension that is part of a Mozilla experiment.
Without even knowing it, you may have volunteered for this Mozilla experiment, called 'Shield studies'
Would you please go to :
Options => Privacy & Security => under 'Data Collection and Use' :
Did you uncheck : 'Allow Firefox to install and run studies' or is it checked ?
To check if you are enrolled in these studies :
Type in the address bar about:studies
Any extensions that you see listed there, you can either disable or remove.
