In recent weeks, when I open a new tab, the bars to input a URL or search has disappeared. How can I restore this option so I don't have to use other browsers?
I used to be able to type in a URL or search when opening a new tab. Now I only get the "panes" that show most recently opened tabs. I have been having to go to alternative browsers to go to websites not in my top 9 or to open new windows, which is a pain.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
- Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
- Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
- Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
- Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.
