One thing I do is re-enable the searchbar and then disable the "everything you type in the URL bar is sent to Google" option.

However, recent Firefox has this annoying feature where if you type in the search box on the main page it redirects your typing into the URL bar instead of the search box, making it then fail because a search is not a URL.

You can disable the feature by the following about:config setting:
