It has always worked but today does not. i open firefox then click tools, then click private browsing, then move cursur to address bar at end and click, then hit backspace to erase, then type in my site and it has always worked. But now when i move cursur to address bar the bar does not accept the cursur? it does the same to the google search bar to the right in private browsing?

Starting in Firefox 15, the "placeholder" text stays visible until you type at least one character. Does that describe what you're seeing?

If you have gotten used it to clearing as soon as you click into the field, you may find this annoying. There is a workaround in this thread: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/935617#answer-363700
