FF quantum can not allow to write the search word into Dictionary.com web page
FF quantum version 60.0b8 (64-bit) loads well the web page of www.Dictionary.com.
In the page you have two options definition or synonims. By default the entry is for definition and there is no problem to change from one option to the other.
The problem is that when you enter the desired word there is no echo into the screen, and you see the cursor move to the next position, but the input field remains empty. However, if you hit the enter key, the page search the right word you enter and displays the proper definition or synonym.
This behavior, as far as I know, only happens in the web page of Dictionary.com.
Do you know whether some body else has this problem?
Appreciate your suggestions

It sounds like the background color is the same as the characters you are typing. Type something. Then do a <Control> A to highlight it.

If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

Thank you for all your troubles. Typing <Control> A and then the word do the trick. You have to repeat the sequence every time you load the initial page of Dictionary.com.
Typing the word and then <Control> A do not work, it highlight the region of the word but it does not show the word.
