Search does not work, no default search and will not go to all websites but my favorites

My kids were playing yesterday on my computer and now today when I load firefox, it doesn't search or go to any other sites but those that I have bookmarked. If I type in a search term and click on enter, erase what I just typed. I did a virus scan and found a few that have been cleared, I tried to update firefox, nothing works. Google chrome works fine, but I prefer firefox. A few things I noticed. When I click on tools/options/from research, there is nothing on the screen (no not listed, search engine not even one by default) and the option where you can click the menu drop-down is tiny and nothing happens if you try to open the menu? I'm totally lost here, please help!

Before wiping, you could try a cleaning of malware. Our support of Firefox to solve the problems caused by malware article lists the tools that other Firefox users have found useful. These scanners on request are free and take a long time to run. If they end quickly, especially if they require the payment you have a serious infection. I suggest the specialty forums listed in the article in this case.
