After resetting firefox as it crashed unless on safe mode can't use google search engine
I had to reset Firefox after it crashed unless in safe mode I tried the disable hardware acceleration still crashed so reset. Lost all my bookmarks and history etc and my google search bar no longer works in fact my search bar doesn't work whichever search engine I try and I can't sync either as I have an unknown error

After a reset, you should find an Old Firefox Data folder on your desktop. If you can find that, you may be able to recover your bookmarks and other data from it. Is it there?
On your question about your Google search bar, is it the built-in Firefox search bar with the search engine selection drop-down on the left end?
Do any of these search boxes work:
- Address bar (also known as URL bar)
- Built-in Firefox home page (if you use it)
- Built-in new tab page (if you use it)
