Firefox updated "search' and I can't place check marks in the manage search section. How can I fix this?
After Firefox updated the "search" engine section, I tried to "manage" them from the drop down list. After the box came up under tools, I tried to check and uncheck the various search engines listed. I can neither check or uncheck any of the boxes next to the listed search engines.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Please make sure first that all of you plugins are up to date.
If you have any extensions installed, disable them one at a time and see if Options > Search works.
Just a guess - the Ghostery extension has caused problems in the Options panels for other users.
