I can't search from the search bar.
As I've done a thousand times over with 3.6, I tried to do a quick search from my location bar. It's supposed to go directly to Google with search results. However, I get the following (I did a random search of "birds")--
Firefox can't find the file at jar:file:///C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/omni.jar!/chrome/en-US/locale/browser-region/region.propertiesbirds.
Now, I've already tried to do the usual about:config, and came to find I couldn't reset anything and everything was already set to "true". I'm not sure what else to do here, excluding just going back to 3.6....which probably wouldn't be so bad, actually....

Step 1:
Type about:config into the Firefox address bar. This will take you to the config warning page that says “This might void your warranty.” However, this is the advanced system settings area of Firefox, so don’t go messing around with stuff unless you’re a expert.
With that said, Click the “I’ll be careful, I promise!” button.
Step 2:
In the Filter box, Type in keyword.URL
Under Preference Name, keyword.URL should pop up. Right-Click it and Select Modify.
Step 3:
The default URL is likely Bing, just erase it. Now all you need to do is Paste in the following URL code that matches the search engine you would like the bar to use.
For Google: http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&q= For Bing: http://www.bing.com/results.aspx?q= For Yahoo: http://www.search.yahoo.com/search?p=
(NB: If you've gotten an error message regarding "/locale/browser-region/region", you will find that the value for keyword.URL is incorrectly set to "chrome://browser-region/locale/region.properties".)
You can also use a custom search engine of your choice, you’ll just need to get the correct URL code for it.
Once entered, Click the OK button.
Done!
Changes should take effect immediately, to test it out open a new window (Ctrl+N) and type a search query into the address bar.
