Search not working and when I right click on a link to open in a new tab, this doesn't work either.
I noticed the other day that my search box quit working. Even when I go to options and click on search, it won't open up the tab for the search options. I noticed today that when I go to right-click on a link, it brings up a long list of options, but the only one I want to work is the "open link in a new tab." Unfortunately it doesn't work. I've run Spybot, Malwarebytes, and Microsoft Defender and what malware they found, it didn't fix the problem. I even tried Firefox in Safe Mode and refreshed it, but still having issues. Any help would be appreciated.

hi, this is likely happening because something on your system has overwritten all the default search providers in firefox. in order to recover please download and reinstall firefox from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ on top of your existing version.
since this is a behaviour often caused by adware on a system, please also run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the free version of malwarebytes and adwcleaner.
