When I type in Facebook Login I do get the login page, but once I click on it I get this in the search bar: http://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0LEVjKxOLFUnYcAqGAPxQt.;_ylu=X3oDMTByMG04Z2o2BHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDMQRjb2xvA2JmMQR2dGlkAw--/RV=2/RE=1420929329/RO=10/RU=https%3a%2f%2fwww.facebook.com%2f/RK=0/RS=z5SxQP1tRU7R0kB0fGvHnPu7N2I- Then it just shows CONNECTING but never does.

"Doctor, it hurts when I do this..." Then don't do that ;) But seriously... that's an artifact of Yahoo search, not Firefox. Instead of Search, use a bookmark to reach the Facebook login page. The URL is simply https://www.facebook.com ... Bookmarks, a/k/a "favorites" in IE-speak, are (1) easier to use, (2) more private - they don't put your browsing history in Yahoo's hands, and (3) less likely to go awry (unless the login page moves, which is VERY unlikely). Consider putting the bookmark on your Bookmarks toolbar, with simply the Facebook logo, no text needed... very easy to find, single-click to use, and almost no overhead.
