Overnight all bookmarks and search engine settings vanished. I've restored bookmarks from backup (thanks!). When I try to set the search to google no options at all are visible in preferences/dropdown. Can I restore these from somewhere? Or at least get a list of options?

Update - I fiddled with add-ons on general principles and found that disabling Adblock Plus restored everything. The weird thing is that re-enabling Adblock did not not then replicate the problem. I now have all search functions back plus adblocking.
