When I go to the google homepage and begin typing my search, it jumps from the middle of the screen to the top (presumably to make way for the results).
However, as I continue to type, I very often get a shopping banner that pops up right over the search box, immediately stopping me from typing [see attached image]. I then have to hit the 'X' on the right hand side of the banner before I can continue typing my search.
It's incredibly annoying, as sometimes it will keep triggering every time I click back in the search box.
It seems to be triggered if what you're typing relates to something you could buy, so for instance, if you were to type in the name of a book or film, it would pop up with a link to ebay or amazon, and give you the best price for that item.
It's not in my add-ons. I'm on XP, using Firefox 38.0.5
Is this adware or something Mozilla have added, thinking it would be a useful tool?
