The only options in the search feature (in the top right corner of FF) are Delicious and Norton Safe Search. It's the Google search I'm looking for; it's the only one I ever use.

Hello deedee0719, drop down the menu then selecting "Manage Search Engines" and then clicking "Restore Defaults".

You can also try to delete search.json file and a possible search.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Thank you, ideato. I'd seen that option, but it wasn't available; it was grayed out no matter what I tried.

Thank you, cor-el. Your helpful instructions were far over my head. I ended up downgrading to a previous version of Firefox, and all the browser options returned.

THEN... the Norton went fubar, and we lost use of all browsers; couldn't connect to the Internet at all on that laptop. Ended up pulling out an old one, found a Norton representative who instructed us to download onto a flash drive, and used that to uninstall the Norton. Now we have all browsers working normally, with all search functions intact.
