Typing Text in Web input fields changes to Location bar

more options

All but this web site has the problem. An example would be filling out an input field and after a few key strokes switches to the Location Bar and the text is being placed there. I have to constantly click the Input field to type in it or all my typing goes in the Location bar. Does not matter what type of input field I try.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

I noticed it does not happen as often when Bing is used as a search engine instead of Google as default. Typing the the search bar no longer has this problem. It has something to do with Google search Engine. I will try Safe Mode.

Are you sure the web page was fully loaded before your "focus" was placed in that type-able text field?

Yes and booting in safe mode did stop the problem even with Google as the search engine as default. So now I have to try selecting one by one add-ons till I see which one is it, bummer. Why would I be the only one with this problem.

This problem is in Firefox 69/70, or in Waterfox with legacy extensions?

As you may know, Ctrl+L, Alt+D, and F6 will all move the cursor from the page to the address bar, so possibly one of your add-ons generates one of those keystrokes somehow?
