When digiting in the Firefox search bar, the screen becomes gray and the search engine is blocked. I have Windows 10 and my search engine is Bing. Everything works instead if I use the Cortana bar. I have already reset Firefox but nothing change. Thank you for helping. Gaspare

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
