How do I disable the simplify awesome toolbar? (when i start typing it goes to the address bar instead of where I put the cursor)
When I am in Gmail or most other sites, when I type it automatically goes to the address bar. For example, in Gmail, I will click reply, and the cursor starts flashing in the message box. However, when I start typing, it goes into the address bar instead. When I am on another website (for example I am on my library website), i place my cursor in a field, start typing, and again it goes in the address bar. I have tried disabling the add-on, but it doesn't appear in the list of add-ons. When I search, I have the option of installing, as if I don't already have it. Any suggestions would be helpful!

Hi,
There are a few keyboard shortcuts that jumps to the awesome (location) bar. Please see this. You can try to check if any keys are stuck.
If keyboard problems can be ruled out, you can also Reset Firefox.
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
- Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
- Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
- Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
- Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.

This can also happen if you start typing on the web page before the page has finished loading.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
