I can't get my address bar to do google searches anymore. I've already tried the "keyword.enabled set to true" fix, and it didn't work!

The question says it all. One day, this setting just shut off. I've tried this fix, and some others, that apparently were only for older versions of firefox. I want my address bar to function the same way as the search bar, just like it used to do.

Hello,

Can you elaborate on what you are experiencing? If you enter some words on the address bar, does a different search engine come up, or does Firefox attempt to go to that page?

Try checking your extensions and removing any that look suspicious:

  • Tools (or New Fx Menu > Add-ons > Extensions

If you didn't make any changes to your search bars, you can reset them to default settings by installing the following extension and restarting Firefox:

The tool will reset all of the search settings back to default (Google) and then uninstall itself.

Bookmark and use this; Mozilla Search Reset {web link} This add-on is very simple: on installation, it backs up and then resets your search preferences and home page to their default values, and then uninstalls itself. This affects the search bar, URL bar searches, and the home page.
