Since updating to Firefox 11, when I search in the Search bar, no suggestions (other than my past searches) come up like they used to. Searching directly from the Google.com page still works.

Any thoughts?

Hi,

Please check if this happens in a new profile. If the new profile is okay, you can later copy the needed personal data from the old profile. Firefox stores your personal data and settings in another location (profile folder) separate from its files/folder. A new profile would have the default Firefox settings (Tools (Alt + T) > Options, and about:config ), and usually would also be empty of any Extensions and themes (Appearance) in Tools > Add-ons) and their settings. Also, a new profile would have no previous stored website data/settings etc., (Tools > Clear Recent History).

Still happens in a new profile I'm afraid.

You can try to re-trust Firefox in any installed security software. Please see this for a general overview.
