Google and Wikipedia and possibly other search engines, have suddenly disappeared as a choice in the search bar

I'm fairly certain that Google has always been my default search engine when you search using the address bar, but it has been switched to Yahoo Search.

I tried to follow the suggestion to open the box to "Manage search engines" and clicking on the button "Restore default settings", but the button is grey and inactive. I then installed the SearchReset 0.2 Add on, which had another solution found in the recommended Firefox Help. This changed my homepage on the default setting and deleted Yahoo as search engine when you use the address bar (even if the research is now not possible at all here), but it has not reset the search somehow bar, and Google and Wikipedia are not always listed as a choice. Also, search Reset didn't uninstall properly said, as he is still listed as an add-on, even if the description on the homepage SearchReset says that this will happen automatically.

I mention also that, at the same time, the search bar, difficulties began, the 2.2.2 ForecastFox add-on has stopped working and has disappeared from the status bar, but I was able to restore by disabling everything first and then allowing him once again. Also, until I was able to restore ForecastFox, Firefox would crash, whenever I clicked on "Manage search engines", but this crash has not happpened for ForecastFox has been restored. Weird!

Dear GBinHoosick

All of a sudden all my search engines by default FireFox search missing. Sweet Im has been replaced... The fix for me was quite simply after a search for hours for many who did not.

I went to C: program Files\MozillaFirefox... I noticed there are two folders that says SearchPlugins, which was empty, and Searchplugins (2) which contains all of the default values, Google, Yahoo etc. I copied these Searchplugins (2) of and stuck looking for Plugins and the problem resolved.
Hope this works for you too
