Today the search suggestions on the Google search page stopped working in Firefox (safe mode too) after Firefox update 62.0.2 (64-bit). Regardless of what settings I choose in about:preferences#search I can't make the search suggestions work as before which is showing in the Google page search bar and not in the address or Firefox search toolbar. This is extremely annoying that is making me use Chrome instead of Firefox. My home page is Google search and opening a new window comes with the insertion point for typing text in the Google search bar in the middle of the page not the address bar. I'm using latest version of Firefox today which is Sep 23 2018 and I'm using Windows 7 64bit

Please help!

The Refresh feature (called "Reset" in older Firefox versions) can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.

Note: When you use this feature, you will lose any extensions, toolbar customizations, and some preferences. See the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article for more information.

To Refresh Firefox:

  1. Open the Troubleshooting Information page using one of these methods:
    • Click the menu button New Fx Menu, click help Help-29 and select Troubleshooting Information. A new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
    • If you're unable to access the Help menu, type about:support in your address bar to bring up the Troubleshooting Information page.
  2. At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Refresh Firefox" ("Reset Firefox" in older Firefox versions). Click on it.
  3. Firefox will close. After the refresh process is completed, Firefox will show a window with the information that is imported.
  4. Click Finish and Firefox will reopen.

Thank you for your replies but unfortunately the problem remains. The Refresh did not help. I refreshed twice. After the first refresh I set Google as a home page and open a new window. The insertion point for typing text was in the address bar and not in the Google web page search bar. I clicked in the Google page search bar and it showed search suggestions when I typed and I thought this part is fixed. But now when opening a new page I have the problem with the text insertion point being in the address bar instead in the Google page search bar. I couldn't find any settings in the Options for changing the default place for the text insertion point. In an attempt to fix that I checked 'Add search bar in toolbar' in the search options. Then new pages opened with the text insertion point in the Google page toolbar but again the search suggestion stop appearing when I type and I couldn't bring it back. Then I made a second refresh which didn't fix the problem at all but looks like brought the state of Firefox before the first refresh because after the first refresh my custom settings and extensions were gone but after the second refresh they were back as If noting happened.

edit: On first check after the second refresh I saw the extensions I installed were back and they were missing after the first refresh. However after I check again now I see two more extensions added meanwhile automatically. Telemetry coverage 7.0 and something else that I couldn't remember because both of these extensions disappeared after I refreshed the Add-ons page. What on earth is going on?

I will greatly appreciate any further help and suggestions

FFus3r thank for your reply but I have already checked that answer before starting this topic. As sadFFuser replied there, I also don't see a checkbox or anything that can turn on Google search suggestions on the link provided https://www.google.com/preferences?hl=en http://www.google.com/preferences?hl=en

Does anyone see such thing on that link?

Can anyone please confirm that with the latest version of Firefox, and home page set to Google have search suggestions appear when typing in the Google page search bar?

I just would like to know if it is only me so far with this problem

I will greatly appreciate your reply

As a workaround I can use Firefox as a home page with Google set as default search engine where the search suggestions appear but then the problem remains with fixing the text insertion point being in the Google bar and not the address bar when opening a new window. Is there a way to set the default position of the text insertion to be in the Search bar instead of the address bar?

I don't know if this is Google-related, but there is bug with Auto-fill in the Address Bar.

FFus3r,

It was the cookies, I cleared the cash completely before but was hoping to save the cookies and clear them as a last resort in order to avoid logging again on each site that remembers me.

Well, at least this fixed it.

Thank you all for all the help, I really appreciate it
