About a week ago, every time I start Firefox, the cursor is in the url window/address bar instead of the main (google) search window

Unable to locate and modify the correct setting to return to Firefox opening in the main search window not the url/address bar window

All Address Bar — Firefox Suggest settings remain off

I modified keyword.enabled to false as suggested here https://support.mozilla.org/gu-IN/questions/1359116 and restarted firefox however same condition remains

Firefox 105.0, Ubuntu 20.04

Any assist appreciated

That change caused an outcry which resulted in a special release to revert it.

Wondered if I am missing something on this one ....?

Set all the browser.urlbar xxx via about:config I could find to false

Browser still defaults to url address window vice (google) search window

Any thoughts appreciated

You can try Firefox from the official Mozilla server if you currently use a version from the repositories of your Linux distribution to see if it behaves differently.
