So basically iv reinstalled fire fox, and reset it several times, when i reset (or reinstall it) it brings up Google as the default search on the start page (Fantastic!) and will continue to do so for a time, then for no apparent reason (usualy when i close and reopen fire fox but not always) it will simply stop using Google or anything else and not work. the bars all along the top work fine this is just really annoying (i like the middle search bar) id like to point out that fire fox only has default addons / extensions / what ever, on it since i have added nothing myself.

iv been searching through a multitude of "fix it" things, and they all suggest basically the same things "delete this", "go into about:config that" tried them all, informative but 0% effective.

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a Clean reinstall. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

Note: You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.

  1. Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
  2. After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
  3. Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    • Windows:
      • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
      • C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    • Mac: Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    • Linux: If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see Install Firefox on Linux. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
  4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    1. Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    2. Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
