Search bar stopped functioning when using LinuxMint 18 and Firefox 48
Search bar and optional search engines disappear using the distro/release mode of LinuxMint Firefox.
"Live Mode" and downloaded Firefox (user space) work normally.
Firefox also works normally on my other machines using LinuxMint 17.3/Firefox 47. Firefox also works normally using the "Live" DVD and /when downloaded into the /home space.
Any suggestions for analyzing this?

Hello pearl298, please try to change in about:config the next preference
- distribution.searchplugins.defaultLocale
from "data:text/plain,distribution.searchplugins.defaultLocale=en-US" to "en-US"
If you have a different locale en-GB for example, change it to en-GB
any luck ?
thank you
