When I open Firefox, the Firefox homepage appears OK. I then enter my search words in the search box. The search returns pages related only to the first word I entered. Example: I entered Stephen's Green Hotel Dublin. The search returns only "Stephen" results. What on earth is going on?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (3-bar Menu button/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: 3-bar Menu button/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

System Detail list next to your question shows that you run an older Firefox 42 version that is no longer supported with security updates. Always update Firefox and add-ons to the latest versions to get all security fixes.

Please update to the current Firefox 44.0 release.
