I unchecked use the navigation box for searching and had it add the search box, so why does it default to navigation box to search, this needs a fix?

i complained about this a long time ago and still no fix. How do I get firefox to search in the search box in stead of the navigation box by default. and hitting tab to move from the navigation box to the search box is unacceptable. You should have to hit tab to search in the navigation box.

You had 24 replies on that question for a different version and different code. So different solutions are no needed here for this code.

uninstall Firefox. Then Delete the Mozilla Firefox Folders in C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files(x86) Then restart system. Then run Windows Disk Cleanup. (Note: This should be Pinned and run Weekly, If never done below expect 10's of gig's) Then run it again and click the button that says Cleanup System Files. Note: your Firefox Profile is saved. But you should make a back up before you do : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles

No such feature. See: how do i get firefox to search in the search box-not the address box without having to click on the search box first?
