Unable to change default search engine
For some reason I have lost all my saved preferences and now my default search engine is set to wikipedia. I want to change it but when I go to the options page, wikipedia search is the only option and I can't see a way to replace it?

Hello Dave,
That must be annoying (to say the least).
What happens when, at the bottom of 'One-click Search Engines', you click on 'Restaure Default Search Engines' ?
If that still doesn't bring back the other search engines, would you please take a look at this article :

(you may also need to read this article for the other preferences you've lost)
