I type into the google search bar, Firefox erases my entire query and defaults me to a new page titled: about:preferences#search

I have tried a variety of settings changes, no to avail. I want to stop losing the entire contents of my searches but most specifically, I want to stop looking up at my screen, after having typed in my google search query, often times, very specific and long entries, to find that I am nowhere near my search results, instead, I am BACK at this GD Firefox 'settings page', without warning and without my query content maintained.

Please advise.

If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Did this help?

While you are in safe mode;

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.
