CURRENTLY IF I TURN OFF THE "WEB SEARCH" FROM "FIREFOX HOME CONTENT" SETTINGS, IT DISABLES THE LARGE SEARCH BAR SHOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCREEN, BUT ALONG WITH IT THE FIREFOX LOGO ALSO DISAPPEARS, WHICH ISN'T DESIRED. RETAIN THE FIREFOX LOGO ON FIREFOX HOME SCREEN EVEN IF THE WEB SEARCH IS TURNED OFF. (I TURN WEB SEARCH OFF BECAUSE TYPING ON THE SEARCH BAR ON THE MIDDLE OPENS UP THE SEARCH BAR ON THE TOOLBAR, SO TO ME THE MIDDLE SEARCH BAR IS POINTLESS AND IT TAKES UP SO MUCH UNNECESSARY SPACE.Web Search Feedback 2024-09-13 20_48_20-Greenshot.jpg2024-09-26 17_49_26-Greenshot 1.jpg)

Of course you could compose an HTML page that looks how you like and set it as a custom URL for the Home Page but that would only work for about:home but not about:newtab.

It also seems odd that clicking the Home icon in a Private Window brings up the standard Home page not the Private one.
