When I press the homepage icon to do a search, a name from the search engine list e.g. BBC appears in the search bar. When I type something in the search bar over this name to search the net it searches the pre-filled site instead e.g. BBC, Amazon, E Bay or others off my search engine list depending which is selected at the time. I deleted Firefox and reloaded but the problem is still there. It first happened when my version was upgraded, help appreciated.
