Cant use the search function in Pinterest since Quantum upgrade

Along with being unable to open a Pins original page without using *open in new tab* (which I believe is being looked into) I cannot use the Search function in Pinterest since upgrading to Quantum.

The cursor is not turning into the enter text cursor - please see image. Any thoughts appreciated =)

Chosen solution

H loverat. I just saw your post and had a look at it as I use Pinterest a lot and it is working fine for me in Firefox Quantum (now on 57.0.1).

If type something into the search bar of Pinterest (e.g. mermaid) and then enter, it brings me up a page of mermaid pins.

If I then right-click one and open in new tab it then displays that pin in the size it is displayed.

If under the image it says Saved from... on the left, then if I left-click the Visit button on the right, it opens up the page for the site it was saved from in a new tab to the right (assuming it is still there).

I do not see an image attached to your question, so cannot comment on it..

Hi Richard =)

Thanks for your reply! The problem was I couldn't even type in the search bar =/ However! After removing my *Pin this* addon button(which was causing major lag and stuttering in FFQ) the problem seems to have resolved itself! So all is good! I appreciate you taking the time to help me with my problem. Much kudos =)
