Go to a Website no longer disappears when cursor in blank field
Normal windows standards dictate that an empty field show blank when a cursor is put in it. However, starting with FF15, the Go to a Website verbiage does not disappear. Is there a config to make this go away? Confusing, because your never sure quickly if the cursor went into the field.

Firefox 15+ will still display the grayed placeholder text if you click an input field.
The placeholder will only disappear after you have typed at least one character.

"The placeholder will only disappear after you have typed at least one character." What?! Are you kidding me?!! This is not acceptable!
I restored my computer just to go back to Firefox 14.0.1, and then I shut off updates. And it's going to stay like that permanently until this is solved.

You can see in the above posted thread link that you can revert that change easily with some code in the userChrome.css file.
Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.
The customization files userChrome.css (interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the user profile folder.
You can use the ChromEdit Plus or Stylish extension to have easier access to the customization files.
