How do I change the default search engine in the navigation bar?
I have tried the about:config solution and it did not work. My search engine used to be Google but it has changed to some random search engine that doesn't even have an official name. there is not option in the drop down menu. And there is no option in the FireFox Options. I am wondering why it is so hard to change something like this. there should be a button for those of us that aren't computer savvy. Am getting irritated that i can't just search something anymore.

hello please install the search reset addon in order to revert to the default search engine: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
also make sure that you don't have any toolbars or 3rd-party programs installed that might overwrite the search behaviour in firefox
Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page
