unwanted search box appearing in firefox (also in MS Edge and Opera) that can´t be closed once it appears
During the past few days I have had an unwanted search / find box opening at random occasions when I´m browsing the internet. When the search box appears it refuses to close and scrolling is disabled. I´m also unable to type in the adress bar. It hijacks my keyboard and I´m unable to type anything in the adress bar. When this happens the only thing I can do to regain control of my computer is to restart it.
I have deinstalled the browsers (Firefox and Opera) and reinstalled them again later. Ran Avast premium security and Malwarebytes. After running the antivirus and malware programs, a few issues were resolved, but still the issue persists though its now less frequent.
I need to know how to resolve this issue completely as I find it very irritating.

Hola Es el campo de búsqueda (búsqueda de texto dentro de la pagina web actual) que en la imagen se observa en el borde inferior a la izquierda? Puedes desactivarlo de la siguiente forma: Menú Herramientas o botón de las "3 lineas"->Configuración, Ajuste o Preferencias->General->Navegar: desmarcar la opcion "Buscar texto al empezar a escribir"
