Basically any page i load like google for example the address bar will show for a second then clear itself and say 'Search or enter address' its really annoying when you're trying to type and it switches from the google search bar to the address bar. Not really sure if its my fault messing around with the options or anything...

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} While you are in safe mode; Press the <Alt> or <F10> key to bring up the tool bar. Followed by;

Windows; Tools > Options Linux; Edit > Preferences Mac; application name > Preferences

Then Advanced > General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.

Poke around safe web sites and see if there is still a problem. Then restart.

Not likely but make sure you are not in Private Browsing.

Another slight possibility, try disabling your plugin shown as npbyond .
