When I look for records on a particular name, with place of birth entered I get some decent results, but when opening and then closing a record, the search parameters have changed to my name and state.. This has happened for about the past three weeks. Is there a solution to get around this bug?

    I'm in and out of FamilySearch all day, most days, and I have not seen that behavior.

    Have you tried the basic troubleshooting step of searching with another browser? Or clearing your FS cookies in your preferred browser?

    Thank you, Aine, for your response. Yes, I had done the basic troubleshooting - several times and still the search screens would populate with my full name and state of residence. Nothing I did helped fix "my" problem. The only thing I did not think to check was my website's auto-fill program. I had mistakenly checked a box that said something along the lines of - do not ask, just fill in the blanks. Once I fixed that - problem solved. I do not usually admit to being such a fool, but maybe it will help someone else.
