Hi Surv1v0R, could you check the following setting:

  • Windows: "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options
  • Mac: "3-bar" menu button (or Firefox menu) > Preferences
  • Linux: "3-bar" menu button (or Edit menu) > Preferences
  • Any system: type or paste about:preferences into the address bar and press Enter/Return to load it

On the General panel, scroll down to the Browsing section.

If the checkbox for "Search for text when you start typing" is checked, try unchecking it. (If it's unchecked, try checking and unchecking it.)

Any improvement?
