MSN Homepage auto"something"

WDoG · 17-March-07, 07:46 PM

I like having MSN as my homepage. Sometimes its has good new stuff and other things. My biggest problem is that it "auto somthings" my cursor to the msn search box when the page finishes loading. Normally by that time I have already clicked the cursor in the search box firefox has in the top right corner.

This is really aggravating because I will have typed half my word in the firefox search box and half in the msn search box.

Does anyone know how to disable the auto move of the cursor? Maybe some kind of script or something?

Thanks guys.

Doesn't google and yahoo do the same thing? Upon opening of the home page it instantly puts the active curser in the search field.

I know what you are talking about, and I could have sworn that I knew where to change it, but I can't find it. I usually hit the stop button on the browser before I start typing to keep it from messing me up!
