I can't get through typing in a query on Google without Firefox opening the box that would appear if I'd clicked on a "download" link. It opens a download called "search." It happens multiple times as I type in my query as Google Instant searches for it. It makes me unable to keep typing until I click cancel on these windows, sometimes up to 30 times.

Hi

Please check if this happens in Safe Mode.

Problematic Extensions

Troubleshooting Extensions and Themes

Uninstalling Add-ons

Uninstalling Toolbars

Safe mode disables the installed Extensions, and themes (Appearance) in Tools (Alt + T) > Add-ons. Hardware acceleration is also temporarily disabled - the manual setting is Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Use hardware acceleration when available. Options > Advanced. All these settings/add-ons can also be individually or collectively disabled/enabled/changed in Firefox normal mode to check if an extension, theme or hardware acceleration is causing issues.
