Is the merging of Search Box and Address Box in v137, undoable?

[Nicholas-Steel]

I see in the https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/137.0/releasenotes/ that they've merged the Search Box with the Address Box for reasons that were already solved with the existing solution... making things needlessly more complicated for those that used the search box.

Things it aimed to fix that weren't an issue in the first place:

1. The ability to click a button and choose a search engine was already possible. Now such actions change the Address Bar.
2. Search terms remaining while navigating between pages/browser tabs (your latest search term already remained in the box)

is there any way to keep the separate search box? I've yet to update from 136.0.4.

I assume the change was made to simplify their code base, not for user benefit.

I'm not sure what you are referring to. The search box is still part of Firefox 137 and 139 (Nightly):

Huh, okay, the release Notes for 137 made it sound like the Search Box (usually appearing next to the Address Box like in your 2nd pic) was being merged in to the Address Box but if it can be restored to the toolbar as shown in your pics than there's no issue.
