Yahoo search broken in Firefox (us eng language)

Post by sw2821 »

Hi, I'm running the latest version of Firefox, 44.0, and found that Adblock Plus was causing issues with the Yahoo search button functionality. I would try to search something on Yahoo homepage and when I hit enter or click the search button, nothing works. It's like a dead button that just doesn't work at all. It only happens with Yahoo, Google's homepage search button works fine. The search button only works again when I disabled the extension. I've never had this problem before and I think it might have started when I updated to Firefox 44.0. Is anyone else experiencing this problem, and is there a way to fix it? I like Adblock Plus very much but this issue is a pain to deal with. Thanks.

- disable all other addons, keep only ABP, test again
- if still does not work:
Submit an issue report and then post here the report link.

Hi mapx, I had originally tested all my add-ons and found that Adblock was the issue.

Here is the issue report link that you requested:
