Why do I get a period when I type the first letter in the search box

Every time I type a letter in the search box to start a search I get a period. If I leave it there Firefox will not give any returns on the search. This not a huge problem, but it is pain to have to remove it every time

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
