My problem in a nutshell:

How it's supposed to work: Adress bar: I enter something without a dot --> default search engine searches for the entered term. Search bar: I enter anything --> default search engine searches for the entered term.

What happens: Adress bar: Firefox tries to load "https://[search term]", e.g. "https://google/" (except when I use one of the other search engines from the dropdown menu) Search bar: Nothing happens until I use one of the other search engines from the dropdown menu


What I've already tried: -safe mode -changing default search engine -> now the recent default search engine works via dropdown menu, but the default one doesn't at all -clicking on the search option in the adress bar (2nd option on screenshot) -> nothing happens, just like in the search bar -restarting the computer -closing all other (visible) applications

None of those solved the problem.

PS: Since the "upload" option isn't working, here's the file online: https://download.robinle.de/Firefox%20search%20bug.png

uninstall Firefox. Then Delete the Mozilla Firefox Folders in C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files(x86) Then restart system. Then run Windows Disk Cleanup. (Note: this should be pinned and run weekly, for below if never done it expect 10's of gigs) Then run it again and click the button that says Cleanup System Files. Note: your Firefox Profile is saved. But you should make a back up before you do : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles

Reinstall with Current Release Firefox 57.0.2 with a Full Version Installer https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/

Didn't help, Firefox still acts the same. I've followed all your steps.
