Earthlink and Google search bar

RHB10

Greetings,

I love Firefox! When I log into my personal start page at Earthlink, and then scroll down the page, the Google search box is locked at the top of the page and if I try to use the arrow keys to scroll down, the Google search box responds by displaying the past Google searches and then scrolling down the list.

Is there some way to disable this behavior?

Thanks for your help!

Does your Earthlink page show any options to change that?

There's no built-in feature of Firefox to prevent scripts from locking the position of an element to the top of the window, or moving the cursor where it likes. You probably would need an add-on to "hack" the page and either block the script from loading, or defeat/undo what it does. (Not impossible, but would take some hands on tinkering to accomplish.)
