I have OS X 10.8.4 with Firefox 21.0 installed on my laptop. When I first downloaded it, I'm sure I remember the tail of the cat wagging (illustration at top of page). That has now stopped but more importantly, the central task bar does not respond to anything I write in it.

Thank you in advance.

Could you attach a screenshot?

Try to use JPG or PNG image file format and make it public view.

Is this the location bar on the Navigation Toolbar or the search bar on the about:home page or something else?

Try to use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.

Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).

Current Firefox versions use the default search engine (pref: browser.search.defaultenginename) to set the search engine that is used on the about:home page.

Check the browser.search.defaultenginename pref on the about:config page and make sure that it is set to the default value Google.
