Hi. Installed Mozilla Firefox app yesterday and have been setting-up same. To continue from the 'Question' detailed above: Why when you then click on the box it highlights the whole 'about:home' in orange then you have to delete it every time before it you to enter your search? Most strange? Is a 'characteristic' or am I missing something in Settings? (Quite possible!). Thanks in advance. Brian
