When i type in the search bar (top right) i always have to press Enter twice. Also the manage search engines (drop down menu) feature is not working, it won't delete any search engines not required, just freezes.

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).

I am having the same problem. I also cannot select other search engines on the drop down menu that are on my computer. Nor can I delete search engines. I have followed the instructions for deleting a search engine and when I do, it takes it off the list. But when I click OK the search bar still only uses Yahoo. I'm using Firefox version 14.0.1. Any help appreciated!
