Update Firefox 16 prevents by typing in the search box

I had Firefox 15.1.1 on my netbook and found that when I click on the search bar, the cursor would move toward the front of the word Google and not allow me to type anything in. Reinstall from scratch has not helped. I put it down to a conflict with something else installed.

On my PC the research was working fine until I updated to 14.1.1 16.1.1 and the same thing happened as with my netbook, the cursor would go before the word Google and I couldn't get anything by typing.

I did a restore of the system on my PC and got 14.1.1 rear and the search bar worked. So I then uninstalled Firefox on my netbook and reinstalled with 14.1.1 and it works well.

Either way, while I had 15.1.1 on my netbook, I used a work around by sliding a word in the search bar, google would find it, and then I was able to use the search bar until I closed Firefox.

I've done many research, but could not find a solution to the problem. Create a new profile, such as recommended, did not help. When I uninstalled 15.1.1 off the netbook and reinstalled with 14.1.1 the latter uses the profile without any problem.

I attributed the problem to my configuration on the netbook, but when the problem appeared also on my PC so I can tell it seems to be a bug in 15.1.1 and it had not been resolved in 16.1.1

Hi madperson,.

Many apologies for don't get back to you as soon as possible. Everything now works well using the latest version, after that I decided to uninstall Firefox, delete the Mozilla folder and start again.
My current Mozilla file is about 20 MB while the old record was 44MB. I can only assume he had a lot of unnecessary information in this folder and that something created the problem I posted.
Thank you for your response.

  • After first load FF and I typed something in the search box, I type several words, then clears the box and I have to re-enter my search words. Why?

    Loading Firefox 8 I frequently get right into the search box to enter something I want. Usually I can type two or three words, then remove it from the box. I then re - type my search words. It seems that after the first load there is a delay the program refreshes then so what I typed in the search box, I have to enter a second time.

  • When I use search, Firefox doesn't let me finish typing the word. Strikes effect the page rather than the search box (BACKSPACE ex. goes back a page instead of a character in the box). How can I fix it?

    When I type in the search box, Firefox interrupts me before I finish typing the word (usually within the first 4 letters. 'Focus' password input box to find on the page itself. If I type backspace Firefox goes back to a single page of navigation, not a single character in the box. I disabled Searchmenu, but which did not help.

    This has happened

    Each time Firefox opened

    == The last month or so, I'm not sure of the specific trigger.

    Thanks to Chris who answered the questionnaire.

    I had not restarted after you disable the SearchMenu. After you restart, it would seem that the problem was, in fact, SearchMenu. That was my suspicion. Once finding highlights a 'word' SearchMenu interrupts to offer her services. I guess I'll post on their advice, to see if there is a solution.

    I should have restarted before posting. My apologies. Relocation of the recruit.

    Thanks again, Chris.

    can not access on vista, typed in the search, that nothing comes

    Hi Herentals,

    Maybe it's a typo (you said regidit instead of regedit) or by typing just not enough.  Type regedit.exe and it should appear as a program at the top of the list that you can double-click to open.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Why used the search box does not work

    the mag glass has a green more than and the research of features do not work at all I've tried everything I can find no answer please don't help

    Plu green indicates that the current site has a search plugin, you can install it if you want. Without doubt, who is not related to the problem.

    You are having problems with the search bar on the right end of the toolbar or from the search box in one of the internal pages of Firefox, for example the integrated home page or the new tab page?

    With the search in the toolbar bar, normally, as soon as you start typing, or if you click it with the text already in it, the button panel descends. What is happening? While you type there may be suggestions for your default search engine. You get? And finally to search you can press enter or click on the arrow. No results?

  • Commercial banner appears on the search box.

    When I go to the google home page and start typing my search, he jumps in the middle of the screen upward (probably to make room for results).

    However, as I continue to type, I very often get a banner shopping that appears right above the search box, immediately stop me from typing [see image attached]. I then hit the 'X' on the right of the banner before I can continue typing my search.

    It is incredibly annoying, because sometimes it will keep triggering whenever I click in the search box.

    It seems to be triggered if what you type is linked to something, you could buy, so for example, if you had to type the name of a book or a movie, it would pop up with a link to ebay or amazon and you give the best price for that item.

    It is not in my modules. I am running XP with Firefox 38.0.5
