When Firefox first opens to my home page (Yahoo). The flashing curser goes from the Firefox search window (upper right on browser) to the Yahoo search window on the home page.....How do I keep curser in the Firefox default search window?

That is done by a script on such websites that use an onload event to set the focus to the search bar.

See this thread for an example with Google.com: /tiki-view_forum_thread.php?forumId=1...
