The google suggestions when I type in the search box are not clickable anymore since I installed Firefox 4. Why could that be?

It used to be when I typed in the Google search field at the top of the screen, a list of suggestions would appear. When the suggestion matched my search I would stop typing and click on it. Then the search would start. After installing Firefox 4 the suggestions still show up but nothing happens when I click on them. I have to complete entering it and then click on the search button. Any ideas? Thanks.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?
A troubleshooting mode.
1.You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the Shft key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
2. Or use the Help menu item, click on Restart with Add-ons Disabled... while Firefox is running.
To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.

I'm not in safe mode. Thanks for your reply.

Do you mean the Google Toolbar or the regular Firefox (Google) search bar on the Navigation Toolbar ?

I attached a screen shot. The red arrow indicates the search box I'm referring to. I hope it will show up clearly enough.

Looks like a problem with the Google Toolbar that isn't working properly in Firefox 4.

Thank you very much. Using the key board to move down the list of suggestions and then hitting "enter" works. That's what the link you posted indicates. Thanks again.
