Every time I search, the search bar query automatically clears itself 5-30 seconds later. I find this annoying and am just trying to determine if it is a FF feature or an add-on and how to turn it off.

Maybe this extension: Second Search 0.7.2012122901

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

There was an option in Second Search to turn that feature off. Thank you!
