motor of the browser
hello, the fact is, I usually use the homepage (the predetermined one of firefox) to search for anything Im looking for, and the search is powered by google (like always), but, today I star my computer, run firefox, search for a topic, and ¨ask¨ is the motor... I dont have any idea why that happend, but I dont like it, I want google, I'll try it from the control panel, I put it again the homepage of firefox, I delete everything related to ¨ask¨ on my computer, and stills ask is the motor of the search, how I return to google?. thank you very much.

Open the Profile folder, then close Firefox. Delete the chromeappsstore.sqlite file, then start Firefox. Firefox will create a new version of that file on startup.

thank you! but it seems firefox doesnt create the new version, because now on the homepage I try to search for something and doesnt work, click on the search button or even press enter and doesnt do anything..
The "snippet container" under the search container is empty, maybe dom.storage is disabled.
1. Make sure that domStorage is enabled.
Type about:config in the URL bar and hit Enter.
If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.
Filter - dom.storage.enabled = the Value should be True
If not, double-click that pref to toggle it to true.
2. Then right-click this pref and select Reset after enabling dom storage
browser.startup.homepage_override.buildID
Then restart Firefox and see if the snippet container is working and the search container is working.
Whoops, almost forgot to mention that the Google logo is missing from the left side of the search container, too. That should be fixed too with that "reset".

dom.storage.enabled was true, so the reset option was unavailable, I put it in false, and after that I reset and leave it in true, next to it, I enabling browser.startup.homepage_override.buildID, reset firefox but still doesnt works. I'll have an idea, can I use a copy of the file that I delete to solve the problem? from another computer that have the same firefox version, I mean manually inserted to the folder.
