I think this may be related to the most recent update to 57.0.1 since this is the first I've used the search bar (I think) since that update came to me. I'm on windows, firefox version as above, 64 bit.

I typed in a quick search in the search field in the browser, and a page popped up saying something about my search settings may be out of date and would I like to reset them to google.

No, I do not want to use google. I had to go out of my way to set up the search page I wanted to use (a non-javascript version of one of the other search engines).

How can I prevent firefox from bothering me about this again?

Hello, just select no when this comes up and it will stop asking.
