When I open Firefox, How can I set it so that I dont have to click the search window/box before I can type in it?
When I first open Firefox ,the cursor is in the google box, but I cannot write in the google search box without first having to manually click it again.
My computer at home allows me to simply start writing without having to click.
Any suggestions?

You're right, you should be able to just start typing in either the built-in Firefox home page ("about:home") or the actual Google home page (https://www.google.com/). Are you using one of those, or a different page that has a Google search box?
There are some add-ons to manage the home page and/or new tab page that may affect where the "focus" is in the browser. Could you try starting up Firefox in its Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: Use Troubleshoot Mode in Firefox.
I suggest doing this the next time you start Firefox. Simply hold down the Shift key when double-clicking the icon. You should be presented with a small dialog. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (not Reset).
Any difference? To return to normal mode, exit Firefox and start it again, not holding the Shift key.
