Especially happens when i didn't "hover" my mouse in the search or typing field while typing...

sometimes it is kind of annoying and disturbed my search, also when some sites need to press buttons without typing field.

I can't tell if the 'hello' is in a Firefox field, or something the Google page is putting up.

I noticed a closing X on the far right. Try it.

Thank you for reply,

Unfortunately, closing X can only be applied temporarily... not just the google site, same applies to other ones i was hoping if i could remove it permanently...

nope, i was the one who wrote hello.. for testing btw!

It's not the Find bar,   but the Quick Find bar :   all you have to do is hit the   '/'   slash forward key   .....

When you either on purpose or accidentally hit the forward slash key, you'll bring up the Quick Find bar, which should disappear after a few seconds, but you can also hit the 'Esc' key to make it disappear.
