Everything working as long as I remember to push the button FireFox

I guess my real issue is this:

Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at http://www.xxx.org/httpsdocs/cgi-bin/update_tables.cgi?action=updatetable_167&kind=0&searchterm=19. (Reason: CORS header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ missing).

Don't understand "cross origin" since all same domain

Actually, my problem. Running access from form served up from host, Ok with CORS off. Running on HTML editor is the problem

Sorry for the shortsightedness
