firefox questions

I have some minor issues with firefox. Maybe some of you can help me.

1. My google search bar (built-in no extension) doesn't work anymore. I can type in it, but hitting enter doesn't do anything.
edit:works for root, but not user

2. In the bookmark toolbar, only some of the bookmarks have icons (google and gentoo.org). The rest just have the default icon. No matter how often I visit the sites, the icon never loads.

3. Sometimes when I'm typing an email or blog entry, etc. Firefox goes automatically into the search text thingy that pops up at the bottom of the window. This is very annoying.

Backup bookmarks.html and (optionally formhistory.dat) and delete your $HOME/.mozilla/firefox folder and try again.

thanks, removing bookmarks and adding them again seems to work.

Another question:

4: I want to have the menubar show/hide with a keystroke ala konqueror.
