I'm using firefox 23 with starpage as search engine. I have configured my preferences and generated the custom search engine by this page https://startpage.com/do/preferences.pl?language_ui=english with the option: "Search suggestions" enable. However, when I write any keyword inside the starpage search engine bar, I can't see any suggestion. How can I do?

Seems to be working fine here.

Note that the search bar is in a form that has autocomplete=off, so Firefox won't remember search terms.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

If you use the home page of Startpage yes, it works, but my problem occur when I use the Startpage search bar (by Startpage pluggin) or the url bar. Also configured with autocomplete on, I can't get any suggestion.
