Good evening everyone,

The side panel of bookmarks appears/disappears when I type in the URL bar in Firefox, or in the search bar. My text continues to be entered in the bookmark-specific search in the side panel.

Here's a small screenshot to illustrate what appears.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me, it's very frustrating!

    Hello,

    I had already reset Firefox, but it didn't work. I reinstalled the program, reset it again on your advice, and the bug is still there..

    Uninstall Firefox and do a clean reinstallation.

    Go to the control panel
    Programs and Features
    Uninstall --> firefox

    During the uninstallation of Firefox, agree to uninstall everything:
    Check --> delete all my files

    After uninstallation
    Restart the PC
    Go to: C\program files (x86)
    Delete the folder --> mozilla Firefox

    Delete the 2 firefox shortcuts on the desktop and taskbar.

    Then launch --> CCleaner as an administrator for a cleanup in windows, applications, and registry.
    For using CCleaner, check this --> tutorial

    Install --> Firefox
