Hi yolandag,

Can You see any search engines Logo in the search box. By default it will be Google.

Click on the logo, then You will get a dropdown list. Now click on Manage Search Engines Button. If You made any changes there, You can revert the changes to its default, by clicking Restore Defaults Button.

If this solved Your issue, please let us know.

Try to use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.

Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).

If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:
