My Firefox App deletes new search terms on second search.

Firefox deletes new search terms on second search. If first search is for New York, I get results for New York. If I add Giants to New York or even if I change the search to Chicago Cubs, and search, the second search terms are erased and the first search terms return with the first search results. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and checked all settings dozens of times. I saw someone else had the same problem but there were no responses.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window. You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")
