search engine problems (recommend backing up profile first, and renaming not deleting files), don't you just hate it when people tell you to delete files without revealing consequences (if you rename the search.json file take pictures of your search engine drop-down first as many snapshots as it takes.

only downside is recustomizing toolbars View>toolbars>cutomize (take a picture of your toolbars first). May fix, but does not remove search engines.

deleting search.jason & search.sqlite -- have to reorder and delete some search engines to get old config back
deleting just search.json no apparent differences
deleting just search.sqlite or search.sqlite and search.json all search engines available but in alphabetical order
Your actual search engines in your "searchplugins" profile folder -- http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=1944323
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_search_or_add_new_engines - to reorder your engines move items up or down through "Sort Manager" click on the drop-down on the favicon on the search bar at the very bottom of the drop down.
