You can try deleting search.sqlite and search.json in the Firefox Profile folder. There is also this article about search issues that might help.

Hopefully this helps!

Firefox button > Web Developer -> Scratchpad -
copy and paste this script into Scratchpad > then hit Execute > Run

If the search bar isn't working then reset the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone pref to the default via the right-click context menu.
Close and restart Firefox.
