there is already a similar issue here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1110441 but since it's marked as solved, it doesn't get furhter attention. According to the comments there, the issue is still unsolved.

When I click change search settings, I have no search engines in the list and can't add any. Nothing on the search page or search bar works. Not being able to search the web forces me to use chrome now, although I would love to continue using Firefox.

I tried refresh profile, even a completely new profile, starting firefox in safe mode, uninstall&install...nothing fixed the problem

I'm using Linux Mint 18 - Cinnamon. When I start Firefox with "firefox -jsconsole" I get the following errors:
