Some Search Boxes have 3 lines - Cursor appears in wrong on at times
Thanks for Looking. On Many Various Websites ( maybe all ) the cursor can appear in the Search box sometimes high or more often Low. It Flashes but does not accept data entry. I have Screen Shots of Amazon and Ebay with low cursor -- when cursor is high it only appears as a flashing dot in the upper left corner of the search box. Most Commonly appears Low -- shows full flashing cursor. When in center, it functions as it's supposed to. Has done this at least since 28 or 29 version Updates. Often on sites I am familiar with, I just click on the search box and start typing only to find nothing entered. Any Fix ?
Thanks Windows XP SP3 -- FF 31

OOPS - Cursor appears in wrong ONE at times
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
Some added toolbars are know to cause Firefox issues. Open the Add-ons Manager and disable All of them.
<Control><Shift> A

Tried it -- but Still have same issue - No Difference Noted
Started in Safe Mode - still have same issue - no difference noted.
Other than my Avast and MS Net Framework I only have Adblock and Firefox Troubleshooter 1.1 just installed the other day when attempting to fix this issue on my own.
Here is Screenshot of Cursor in Lower Position

Please disable Avast as a test.
Start your Computer in safe mode. Then start Firefox. Try Safe web sites. Do you still have the problem?
Having Trouble with Safe Mode -- My Son will be here this weekend - and I'm sure he can make it work. Sorry for delay.
