I type an address in the address bar, and mid way through typing, the cursor moves to the search bar.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== it has been doing this for while.

Do you mean the search bar on the Firefox Google web page or the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar?

The "address space" where you can type in web addresses. The "search space" where you can type in search words, such as with Yahoo. I realize that this may be a problem with Yahoo and Firefox. I always use Yahoo. So the address space is Yahoo space and the search space is Yahoo search space.
