when I type a subject or something I want to find e.g. wikipedia or red sea, dogs etc in the box in middle of screen, nothing happens. I am not rerouted to any page. The only way I can access a page is to write the address in the menu bar at the top or go into the smaller google toolbar at the top right hand corner of the screen

You're presumably talking about the Firefox home page. After you type in a search term, hit Enter.

If that doesn't work, then update to Firefox 4.0.1 by clicking Help | About Firefox | Check For Updates. Then try again.

If the problem persists, disable AVG Safe Search by clicking the Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Extensions and you should be able to find it in there.

If you don't have the AVG app installed, try running Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.
