Tab grouping is the latest big-ticket feature addition to get added to Mozilla Firefox, which sees a new stable release roll out from today. Last month's
Hmm not reall or does it? I mean in the address bar, if I type a word and search something, then the search terms will be replaced by the address of the site.
That’s what used to happen, but with this version, if you type a word and search something, and you’ll still see the search terms in the address bar. (Although you can disable it if you don’t like it.)
I just got the update 137. I think there is some misunderstanding here. Lets say I open a new empty tab. Then I type in the address bar “mario” and do a search with default engine. Now the search term will be replaced with the website or search engines site address. I can change the search engine, but only before doing a search.
On the other hand, if have a separate search bar and type the word “mario”, it will stay there, even after committing and opening the new pages.
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 says mario, 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’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.
Heh, that seems exactly what the new search term persistence feature enables with the unified address bar.

I don’t have that option. Maybe I misunderstand here something. I am on Linux, maybe it does not work here?
