Things I don't use like multiple search engines
Hiding HTTPS: stupid idea I guess but I'm waiting for someone to prove me wrong

Overall, I have the feeling that they made changes for changes' sake but I may be wrong. Anyway, they lost (again) 10k users this year and I don't understand how those changes would help (https://data.firefox.com/dashboard/user-activity)

Also, if Firefox sends me to a Google search instead of the web page I typed in the address bar as much as a single time, I'm switching to something else.

I've been using Firefox for about 25 years.

You can disable the search feature from the address bar completely by adding these to your about:config

keyword.enabled = false

browser.urlbar.oneOffSearches = false
