When I click on Tools/Options in FF 36.4, it brings up search engines instead of options. How can I bring up options to change preferences? I use Windows 7 Home Premium.

I have discovered the actual cause of the problem. If the task bar is not hidden on the bottom of the page, then the options window does not fully display. The top with the tabs is cutoff. I had to hide the task bar. Thanks.

Hello, I assume that when you are going to options you are getting something like the screenshot I added. Actually it's very normal. Because options are meant for multi-tab tasking. Just select General, Content or other tab and you'll get your desire settings.
