Opening page to duckduck go I have no issues where the cursor is waiting for input. Also your browser seems to have other issues as there so many blank spaces I think you have some some configuration issues here.

Hi DennisBelmont, is the problem on a "new tab" page or on a "home" page?

If you are using an add-on to set your new tab page to DuckDuckGo:

Check the add-on's settings to see whether it can move your cursor from the address bar (the usual location for a new tab page) into the search box in the page. For example, with the New Tab Override extension, it's the "Focus" setting: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-override/ (see screenshots).

Often you can access extension settings on the Add-ons page. Either:

• Ctrl+Shift+a (Mac: Command+Shift+a)
• "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
• type or paste about:addons in the address bar and press Enter/Return

In the left column of the Add-ons page, click Extensions.

Then find the extension on the right side and look for either:

• Options / Preferences button next to the Disable button
• More link below the extension's name

Can you find that setting?

Thanks for the comments and assistance. I have found a solution that works for me and will allow me to use Foxfire going forward.

Thanks for reporting back. If you think it might help others who find this thread, feel free to give more details on how you solved it.
