What happened to the Google Search tab that used to be in the upper right corner of my Mozilla page?

There used to be a Google search tab (with a drop down list that tried to guess what I was typing) in the top right corner of every page, but it's gone now and I miss it. How can I get it back?

P.S. I think Mozilla recently intsalled an update

You may have installed something that changed your default search engine. Please see:

I think you are referring to the search bar, it may just be hidden.

  • Click the menu New Fx Menu followed by Customize
  • Click and drag "Search" back onto your toolbar

... or when you are in the Customize panel, use Restore Defaults.

thanks, but this did not solve the problem.......I can click on RESTORE DEFAULTS, but it does not change anything. There is a SEARCH bar on the upper right side of the screen, but it's a "ZEN SEARCH" not the Google search that used to be there and I'd prefer to have the Google Search

Thanks very much for the help....yes, I did recently install a "free" video converter. I always watch for (and reject) other programs that come bundled with this type if freeware, but I must have missed this one, or it was hidden.

Anyway, that strange search bar is gone and the Google search bar is back!
