I do not like to use the ADDRESS BAR for search and navigation. I prefer to use the GOOGLE SEARCH field. I am visually impaired, and cannot easily read the tiny font in the search bar, whereas I can ZOOM / expand the GOOGLE SEARCH field. PLEASE stop forcing users to jump to the ADDRESS BAR when they type into the GOOGLE SEARCH field. OR you will “force” me to jump away from FIREFOX. Alternately, provide a means to EXPAND THE FONT in the ADDRESS BAR.

You can turn it off by entering about:config in the URL bar and switching browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar to false.
