Can't add Google as a main search engine

So after reinstalling Firefox my search engines changed and Google was removed completely. Only things left are Yahoo, Wikipedia, DuckDuckGo and Startpage whatever the hell that is. When I go to add Google as the main engine after clicking the three dots icon on the search bar where normally would be an option to add as a search engine, I don't have an option to do that. And when I'm clicking the Sign In button it tries to do something but returns to the Google home page. (sorry for the quality of the image, for some reason I wasn't able to take a screenshot)
