Please send a screenshot https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-screenshots save as a jpeg and it will be in your default download folder.

What I am thinking is that there is no email box and that is the Address Bar where you input a URL (pronounced earl) like this example : http:\\www.whoami.com ) Please see this below : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/awesome-bar-search-firefox-bookmarks-history-tabs

The larger of the 2 is the Google Search Box where type into URL's questions etc then Enter to get the results.
