Chosen solution

It's the programing on that opening page, happens here as well with FF 8. As soon as you start typing, the page changes to a regular Google search page. Annoying but workable. Happens in safe_mode here as well.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
