Sounds like a great reason not to use the home screen search bar. I use nova launcher so I can disable it completely.

Reading this just made me decide to remove the Google search bar from my home screen and put the Firefox widget there instead, but I'm a little disappointed that it really just functions as another button to open Firefox instead of letting me use the bar like it visually appears it should be.

Yeah, nova launcher is the broken record response but there really is a reason for it. Its the stock launcher on crack, use it out of the box or spend hours tuning it into your own thing, while being super easy to use either way.
