My search bar no longer contains any search engines and clicking the magnifying glass delivers and empty prompt. There is no about:preferences#search anymore. The solution in another, similar thread, i.e. "unclick Compatibility Mode" does not work for me. This box is already unchecked and if I check it with the correct Windows 8 OS there is no change. I have already restarted Firefox.

hi, this is likely happening because something on your system has overwritten all the default search providers in firefox. in order to recover please download and reinstall firefox from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ on top of your existing version.

since this is a behaviour often caused by adware on a system, please also run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the free version of malwarebytes and adwcleaner.
