Hi All - Can you help please. I have an Android phone and have it in sync with my PC - When I use the Android to search anything on Google, as I type, there is a delay in showing the characters while Google suggest possible searches. A bit difficult to explain, but if I am typing say the word 'Dobermann', I have entered all the letters, but on the screen, it is still only entering the 'r' and I have to wait until it catches up! - I have finished typing but on the screen, it is still going? I have tried different setting in Google but nothing seems to stop it - Any advice please

I Googled old version of Firefox Android and installed a previous version around v.30 and the problem is not as bad as it was and seems to accept the type a lot quicker - Mozilla should get to grips with this issue as it is a real pain and does NOT happen in Chrome of Android Browser

Thanks for the reply Amit but I am not sure what you mean by 'refresh your browser' and whether you mean the Android or PC Firefox ...

Start focusing where prblm is creating, look for new versions and update your phn software. May also there will be prblm in your pc.
