It's quite simple. A very useful feature in Firefox had been typing a search item into the white box on Mozilla's start page, where it would remain for a long while. I then would be able to just type in a few letters of the prior search to see it listed below, where I could tab down and select it. Very useful when you search a topic multiple times, or over several days (or longer). A great time saver, and memory assistant. Two weeks ago, my desktop computer suddenly stopped doing that, and instead began listing suggested searches, and stopped displaying any of my prior searches, regardless of topic. The look of the font also changed in the bargain. Then today, my laptop did the same thing for no apparent reason. All of those earlier search topics are just Gone. I am forced to recall them from memory, or go through the initial canvasing I did to find them in the first place: a great time waster. Both computers have Windows-7. The laptop 32-bit home and the desktop 64-bit professional. What happened to my search topics, and how can I reset it back the way it was? Also, why am I getting Google-like prompts for topics instead of what I want? Previously, I did not get anything until I pressed enter to start the search. Thank you, Brian
