What bad, bad,habit?

There is no doubt that Firefox 4 is now a much faster browser, however I am experiencing an issue when trying to use the Google Search Pane.

As usual, as I type in the search details, suggested sites appear as a List in a Search Box Drop-down Menu, as seen here;

Search is useless.JPG

If I then click on any of the suggested sites, nothing further is added to the Google Search Pane, the Drop-down Menu disappears from the page, and I am left to type in the full search details...

A bug or what....any fix found?

It is working OK on my Firefox 4.

There have been some complaints of the problem to Mozilla support, however.

One suggestion made was to start Firefox in Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem is caused by an add-on.

Safe Mode | How to | Firefox Help

I haven't seen any definite fix posted anywhere.
