While at Yahoo homepage if I type in the URL address box of a Firefox browser to visit another web address the Yahoo website always redirects my typing into the Yahoo searchbox. This has become quite irritating since I must click back to the URL box and retype and/or finish what I started to type. Why does this happen? Is there any way to correct this problem?
Thank you for any help and explainations you can provide.

Welcome to the forums, alwayscurious. It sounds quite frustrating -- but I just tried in my FireFox and I don't see that behavior. What version of Firefox are you using, and do you have any extensions installed? Also, have you recently checked for any spyware/adware?
