Go to any website, tap the URL and begin typing. Observe that a bar appears above the keyboard that has search engine icons in it. This is a bad UX because it's annoying and distracting ("visual noise"), it hurts the cleanness and simplicity of the UI and it's also covering approx 1 result worth of vertical space, which is a problem because smartphone displays are already very constrained when it comes to vertical space. Screenshot below, I put a red rectangle around this bar I'm talking about. Also, Firefox for Android doesn't have this bar solution while typing and it's much better. Maybe Firefox for iPhone should go the same route as Firefox for Android with this.

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 18.2, Firefox v133.4

And just to save time or for devs that might not have access to an Android phone, here is a screenshot of me doing the same thing in Firefox for Android
