When i was on Firefox, I could always type in a word or two in the search bar (where you normally type in full addresses) and it would then take me to search results for the words. Now when I try doin that, it just shows "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded."

Any way I can get it back to the way it was before?

Thanjs.

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).
