down loaded new FF - changed Yahoo page for blank - set FF as new home page - now suggestions only work on search bar only - can not find out how to turn suggestions on in main window search box - online help windows show 2 blue f boxes in tool bar which I no longer have on my tool bar - they disappeared when I switched out the Yahoo home page. Can I not have FF with suggestions as my home page or do I have to run it the way it was down loaded?

Chosen solution

The about:home page with a Google search bar doesn't and can't show suggestions.
You will have to set the home page instead to the Google website (https://www.google.com).
