search engine has disappeared
hi, one day, my search engine (just the default - google) has gone from my search engine field next to the address bar in firefox.
if i click the drop down button and go "search engines", there's nothing listed in there, and the "restore defaults" button is greyed out.
i have uninstalled FF, and deleted the profiles directory, but still when i reinstall there's still no seach engines available..
i've tried deleting the search.sqllite file in the profile and it doesn't help (of course - deleting the whole profile doesn't work).
any ideas?

You can try to delete search.sqlite and search.json in the Firefox Profile Folder

Do you still have the default search engines in the searchplugins folder in the Firefox program folder?

thanks, i had already recreated my entire profile, so deleting those search files didn't help. however i had a look at that searchplugins folder - it was corrupted and i couldn't even open it or delete it! i ran a chkdsk and it fixed the error, i then deleted it and reinstalled firefox - bam! search engines appeared again.
thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
I have no address bar so I cannot access VIEW to reload my tool and search bars
