I have enabled "show suggestions" in the search bar and in the "Manage search engines" dialog box and it will work while Firefox is running. However, when I restart Firefox, it is always disabled. I have also went to "about:config" and set it show suggestions to default with no luck.

See:

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
