When I click on the "Search" bar, my designated search engines (including Google)show on a drop-down list.

No matter which engine I select, it doesn't open. None of the search engines will open. How do I get them online again? It seems to have happened after the last Mozilla update. Thank you.

You need to type a search query to go to the search engine website when you press/click Enter/Search if that is what you are doing.

Windows 11, Firefox - Most Recent Update: I've been to the settings for the Search. Deleted search engines. Closed Firefox, re-opened - No search Engines showing in the drop-down list but Google. Google didn't respond to clicking selection process again. Closed Firefox again. Went back to Search Engine selection list and re-selected my desired Engines. Closed Firefox Again. Upon re-opening, all my Search Engines were displayed as options. Once again, none of them worked when clicked on/selected. Anything else to try?
