Recently, I've screwed up while deleting some search engines from the search bar, and ended up deleting Wikipedia's entry.

I've searched the web for a way to add Wikipedia to the search bar, but I failed to find any useful information.

Is there any way to add wikipedia to the search bar, or even reset the search bar options with the default set?

thank you

Doesn't it work if you click Restore Default in Manage Search Engines?

You can delete the search.json file and a possible search.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder.

Firefox will rebuild the search.json file from the default search engines in the searchplugins folder in the Firefox program folder and the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.


You can check if you still have the XML files of the default search engines including Google in the searchplugins folder in Firefox program folder.
If not then you need to reinstall Firefox.
