I've downloaded Firefox as my server with Duckduckgo as my search engine. When I attempt to type in the search bar in the middle of the page, it kicks me to upper URL area. Any suggestions as to why the search bar in middle of page won't let me enter text?

You need to change the value of a preference. Enter about:config in the address bar and search for 'handoff'. Change the preference to false. browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar
