Latest Firefox problem
I am using the most recent version of Firefox and I find that two options in its menu settings are not functional. Setting Firefox as the default browser does not work. Setting any search engine other than Bing also fails to function. I prefer Google.
Has these failures been addressed yet?

Your settings are not saved. try with new profile.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See Creating a profile:
- https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem
Profile Backup and Restore
