Ever since the last few forced updates to Firefox, there has been a "major" user change for me at both my home and work computers.
Now, whenever I open a new page in Forefox, the URL address is selected and "active" in the box (on the Navigation Toolbar) near the top of the screen. This is an annoyance for me as I go to type something on the page but end up typing it in the URL box instead.
An obvious example would be that I have Google's main page set as my default home page. It used-to-be that the cursor would be active in the Google search box mid-screen. But now I find myself typing in the URL box at the top of the screen.
I have been unable to find any setting change in the Firefox options menu. And, a Google search on the issue has yielded nothing. Can anyone here help me return this to it's prior settings? Thanks in advance!

When I was 9 years old (1968) my dad bought me my first baseball glove--a Spalding. It had Yaz' triple crown stats from the year before in the palm. Still have the glove. Still a Sox fan.
