My stupid menu button doesn't give options to change my default search
I prefer Google search. I'm used to it. I've read all sorts of "answers" how to get google search back, but my menu doesn't give options to change the search. I've tried several different approaches. I don't have the "buttons" needed on my menu. I'm very sorry I updated Firefox now. I should have just stuck with what I had, it worked well.

So you have not given me enough info to know what your looking at so follow along and then tell me what is not there :
Please copy/paste about:preferences into the Address Bar then Enter. Click Search Left side. We are @ Search. So there are your Options
Click the drop down Menu and find Google Choose the default search engine to use in the address bar and search bar.
Tick or Untick what you want it to do .
One-Click Search Engines If you use this feature then choose other search engines by clicking or untick them , but just because leave Google ticked.
https://www.howtogeek.com/333230/why-firefox-had-to-kill-your-favorite-extension/ How about looking at these 2 URL's also and watch the video: https://www.howtogeek.com/333110/how-to-customize-firefox-quantum-and-remove-the-white-space-around-the-title-bar/ and The name is not descriptive enough : https://www.howtogeek.com/332449/whats-new-in-firefox-quantum/
So this will now make sense : Here's a more comprehensive project which affects not only tabs but brings back the old "grid-style" options menu. https://github.com/axydavid/FirefoxUI/blob/master/README.md
It isn't completely possible to use the Australis design with Firefox 57, but depending on what you want, you might be able to customize the UI to look more like the old one: This project: https://github.com/wilfredwee/photon-australis lets you have the old tab bar appearance back in Firefox 57. You can remove the space around the address bar by right-clicking on the spaces, and choosing "remove from toolbar".
Note the Black Theme is just a Example and can be found in Customize.
Going back : unfortunately 56.0.2 is no longer safe to use for every day use do to secuity issues, but 52.5.0 ESR is! It will continue to get security updates until May 2018, and you can download and install it from this page: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/all/ Note : Legacy Extensions will be deleted or removed in any version update after May 2018.
You should make a backup of your Profile before going back and just because: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles
