Everything works fine on Mozilla, but suddenly the mid page search bar will not search.. nothing happens when I try. But if I search in the upper right hand search bar, regardless of the search engine I use, it will complete a search

Hi GerMia,

it seems that for some reason your default search engine was changed. You could try to change the search engine activated in the search-bar.
In Firefox type about:config in the address bar and press ENTER.
Search for Keyword
Locate and double-click the entry for keyword.URL
Modify it and add the below set of values :



Hope that helped. Please report back!

Try to use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.

Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).

You can check if you still have the XML files of the default search engines including Google in the searchplugins folder in Firefox program folder.

If not then you need to reinstall Firefox.

Hi Alco and Cor-el Thank you for the replies and the information!!! I tried several of your suggestions and my Mozilla search window is now working. Being somewhat technically challenged I'm not sure which suggestion made the difference, but your interest and help is very much appreciated!!!
