start page wrong
The Firefox Google homepage has messed up CSS, the input box for Google searching has 1 pixel of width.

I'm not terribly fond of the new one, honestly. It's why I've kept the old one.

Does that also happen if you go to the main Google site?
No, the main google page is fine.
Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
- Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
- Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Nope, didn't help. When I do a ctrl-f5 refresh, the page is fine for about a second, then the text box vanishes.
I am suspecting javascript, but I am unable to trace the problem any deeper.
Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Restarting in safe mode had no impact on the 1 pixel wide text box.
Have you tried to change your home page to about:home. That is the new built-in/local home page to replace the one that you indicated in your original question Firefox Google homepage which is no longer being maintained.

Do not count on that old page being around in the future. Note that it takes you to a Google web page and Google could remove/deactivate that page at any time now that Firefox has a built-in/local page.
