Yahoo search broken in Firefox (us eng language)

Hi, I'm running the latest version of Firefox, 44.0, and found that Adblock Plus was causing issues with the Yahoo search button functionality. I would try to search something on Yahoo homepage and when I hit enter or click the search button, nothing works. It's like a dead button that just doesn't work at all. It only happens with Yahoo, Google's homepage search button works fine. The search button only works again when I disabled the extension. I've never had this problem before and I think it might have started when I updated to Firefox 44.0. Is anyone else experiencing this problem, and is there a way to fix it? I like Adblock Plus very much but this issue is a pain to deal with. Thanks.

- disable all other addons, keep only ABP, test again
- if still does not work:
Submit an issue report and then post here the report link.
