Lolu chungechunge lwabekwa kunqolobane. Uyacelwa ubuze umbuzo omusha uma udinga usizo.

The search box has stopped functioning. I can type things in, but hitting the magnifing glass or pressing enter has absolutely no effect. Any ideas?

No matter what search engine I select for the search box in FF, I cannot submit my searches. This simply started happening one day with no changes in addons/FF updates. The problem exists with or without "Show Suggestions" selected and even after the search history has been cleared. Everything else in FF is performing as normal.

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

Deleting search.sqlite did nothing, Deleting formhistory.sqlite fixed the problem.

Thanks! -Adam
