The "about:config" move to restore the seach bar didn't work. I'm running OSX 10.9.5 on AOL/Firefox 37.0.1 on a mid 2007 intel iMac
I changed the "browser.search.show.OneOffButtons" boolean to "False" and restarted Firefox. When it didn't restore the search bar I went back and made sure it was entered as "False" and restarted again - no go.
I don't know where to go to search - Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks

Maybe this isn't supported or otherwise overridden by the Firefox version that you use.
Download a new copy of the Firefox application from the Mozilla server and save the disk image file to the desktop
- Firefox 37.0.1: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
- Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re)install
- Install the new version that you have downloaded
- https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install or update Firefox.
I did what you suggested and got the same result. I re-checked the boolean and it was set to "False"
Any other ideas and/or folks I can check in with about this?
Thanks for your input, Russ
This is still a Boolean pref?
Hello Russ, cor-el
maybe it is stupid question... but the preference you mention is browser.search.showOneOffButtons (with out the dot [.] between show and One), did you create the browser.search.show.OneOffButtons (with the dot) ?
thanks
I didn't create the preference - I just clicked on the one listed on the Firefox "about:config" page
