I search for an item and Firefox only shows me one seller, refuses to show others.

I just downloaded the latest FF for windows. Searched for a product and instead of the usual list of sites, FF pulled up Amazon.com site for that product. Not the link even - FF connected me to the Amazon page. As if FF was trying to force me to buy from Amazon or didn't want me to know about any other possibilities. This is the actual result:

Firefox includes search plugins for a range of sites, including one for Amazon. Probably Amazon is not your default search site, but if it is, you can switch that on the Options page: Change your default search settings in Firefox.

If you used the search bar, which has the drop-down with search site icons, you might have accidentally triggered the old "bump the mouse" issue where moving the mouse over one of the site icons after you start typing your search and before you submit it triggers Firefox to select that site instead of your default search site. Can you reproduce the problem?
