Cheers Neil.
Ok, so "a" is appended to nothing, searching "" also searches nothing
(both search results pages show all content on the site). Two-
character strings are appended to "Pr" (giving no search results).
Yes it's only happening on the Blast site, and no it's not case-
sensitive (both "EDINBURGH" and "edinburgh" became appended in the
expected way).
The other two user accounts work completely normally, and, curiouser
still, if I control the Mac with Apple Remote Desktop and lock the
screen from the user, the problem disappears.

Hi Jim,
just out of interest, what happens when you search for a string less
than two characters long? e.g. does "a" become "Pr" ? does "" become
"Pr" ?
is the "Pr" case sensitive?
does this only occur on the blast site?

Hello, just wondering if any of the bright sparks on the list could
offer some help?
I'm creating an image to be deployed across 32 Macs - basically I'm
having a really weird issue with Firefox where it appends "Pr" to
the last two letters of any search query at http://www.bbc.co.uk/blast/
(in the "Search Blast" function"). For example, a search for
'Liverpool' would end up as 'LiverpoPr'
It only happens in one user account (unfortunately the account that
took the most configuration and has a user-tied Ableton Live
licence), and only happens under Firefox. I've tried deleting
cookies and history, user prefs files, updating, completely
uninstalling and reinstalling FF with no luck.
Weird huh?
Could anyone shed any light on this infuriating issue before I
resort to building the account again?
Thank you.
Jim
