Search and Address bars should be SEPARATED on the Firefox Landing Page. When I search the SEARCH BAR my Text gets moved to the ADDRESS BAR where it then gets Auto-Filled or Connects to a URL I did not Intent to go to as I WAS SEARCHING! SEARCH BAR IS TO SEARCH.
Imagine you find or get a link and before connecting you want to search it to make sure it's safe but instead Mozilla decides that it's better just to connect and give you possible viruses or un-wanted 'knowledge'.
I don't understand how the best web-browser has suddenly become stupid in the last few years.
FIX THIS BS ALREADY!
AND NO! I DO NOT WANT SOME BS QUICK FIX THAT ONLY WORKS ON NON-PRIVATE BROWSING AND MUST BE REACTIVATED WITH UPDATES.

Also, you should fix your site so that when we type out an ENTIRE COMMENT and then the site wants you to log-in that when you are returned to the page your ENTIRE COMMENT ISN"T VANISHED.

Because of that I have started using Seamonkey.  Which is going to take some time getting used to but I hate that when I type in an address in the address bar (they should at least not call it an address bar) and it does a search so much that I am giving up firefox for it.  I tried to go to thunderbird but that is even worse. Thunderbird is an email program period.  Each time i open it I spend 15 minutes trying to figure out how to open up a browser window.  Each one of those applications has the potential to be the best at what it does...  I am so frusterated that I give up and go somewhere else.
