Weird, and this is with the separate search bar disabled? If I type
mario
, then press Enter, then DuckDuckGo opens with the search, and my address bar still saysmario
, and I can still change the search engine.You might want to look for this option under “Search” in the settings:
Show search terms in the address bar on results pages
I don’t have that option. Maybe I misunderstand here something. I am on Linux, maybe it does not work here?
I’m on Linux as well, so that’s probably not it. But I just checked the release notes, and it does say:
This feature is part of a progressive roll out.
What is a progressive roll out? Certain new Firefox features are released gradually. This means some users will see the feature before everyone does. This approach helps to get early feedback to catch bugs and improve behavior quickly, meaning more Firefox users overall have a better experience.
So hopefully you’ll get it soon!
