Thank you Nekyinboots for your report,

Can you describe what is 'not correctly' for you or attach a screen shot to [1]. I don't see anything wrong in that page.

It is important that you try to reproduce this behavior in 'safe-mode' w/o any third party extensions enabled (e.g. start firefox from a xterm by typing: firefox -safe-mode).

Thanks in advance.

Can not fill in forms, cursers stays in "link mode".

Whenever I trie to fill in links just takes me back to the default search page.

This is only happing from Firefox, other browsers work fine

Hello,
Just on a hunch I changed my icon theme back to a Ubuntu default, and the problem went away.

I had recently installed an icon theme and it was right after that I had problems.

Glad if this helps someone else.

Above is the link for the preview.

The icon theme is called Amora.

In case the link does not work, here is where I got it at.

Thank you,

I have not tried any other themes since, nor am I interested doing so.
