My default search engine is Wikipedia. I cannot reset it from preferences -> search. There were two posts just like mine back in 2013. The solutions to those posts (2 links) have expired.

I can't click on the "Restore Default Search Engines" button. My default search engine is now Google though. I don't know what happened but problem solved. Thank you!
