When ever I type something outside an input box, or text area, the search bar at the bottom keep appearing. How do I turn this off?

Hi. I believe You can do that by doing this : Disable that feature in the Firefox Menu -- > Options --> General then down to Browsing and by un-checking the "Search for text when i start typing" preference.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
