    19043.1165 is 21H1, not 21H2.

    You have to change the settings of your search engine so it won`t bring up previous searches.

    It is pretty annoying when previous searches come up, but it`s designed to help people.

    Did you create a backup before you did the new install ?

    Not sure but this might help, click the 'Gear' icon and under 'Search' make sure 'Provide search suggestions' is unchecked.

    Thanks Farvatton Yes that's helped with all the old Data Popping Up
    I need to re state the main issue is that No matter what' I cannot Type a single letter in the Google Search Pad on the Google Browser Desktop" Its Dead' it will not let me enter anything to Search from there instead it Flashes to the Firefox Search as soon as I type the first letter into the main Google Desktop Search Pad" so anything I was starting to Type appears in the Firefox ADDRESS Toolbar cheers Dasha

    Hello,

    I can confirm that. What you describe is true and there is no way to resolve it in Settings.
    Maybe it's a bug. I think, it wasn't happening in the past and perhaps they'll fix it in future.

    You may go to Firefox forum and send a post there or see if there is a workaround.

    Hi yeah they are probably being Acquired by Goo anyway if you know what I mean?
    I did the FF forum thing before here nothing but the stuff we did above and nothing about the Search Panel
    Thanks for your efforts just something else in this Digital age that's either been bought, taken over or Financially Stolen

    Best Regards Dasha

    Hello @Dasha,

    I do NOT use Firefox but I thought that I would try and help.

    I have seen this problem before on the Internet. Their Forum is probably the place to go for advice and a solution, if there is one . . .

    > Firefox Support

    I know this is a bit drastic, but have you tried Re-Setting / Refreshing Firefox? . . .

    > Refresh Firefox - Reset Add-Ons and Settings

    I hope this helps.
