Using Vista on PC. Adding new 'user account' on PC and any search engine will bring up a list of links but no link on search engine list works. On original user account, search engines list of links work. States "Peer signature" is wrong on new 'user account'.

Does this also happen in Safe Mode? Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode

Also can you provide a screenshot of this error message and the steps you took to make this new profile in Firefox? How do I create a screenshot of my problem?

You can check for problems with preferences.

Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

Try to delete the search.json file and possible search-metadata.json and search.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder to reset the search engines to the default.

Firefox will rebuild the search.json file from the default search engines in the "browser\searchplugins" folder in the Firefox program and the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.
