Internet Keyword Search not working
I recently updated Firefox to 8.0.1, and since then I have been having problems with searching from the location bar. When I try to use firefox's 'Internet Keyword Search', it comes up with the message "File not found: Firefox can't find the file at jar:file:///C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/omni.jar!/chrome/en-GB/locale/browser-region/region.properties[insert searched item here]" etc. When I change the keyword.url settings in the about:config from chrome to google, this works until I restart firefox. When I restart, the about:config settings have all changed back to chrome. Help!

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Thanks cor-el,
Disabling all my extensions did nothing for the issue, however after I manually deleted the prefs.js files etc, it seems to have fixed the problem :)
You're welcome
