SEARCH does not work.
Input in the Firefox location bar responds like entering address and starts no search. Input in the search bar gives no respond. At Firefox-Options-Search there are no setting options. I tried the following proposed by "mozilla support" without any result: Safe Mode, Turn off hardware acceleration, Add-ons disabling, Reset 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.

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.
I had this problem and solved itby uninstalling the add on SearchLoadOptions{0.8.0.1-signed} which was apparently causing the problem. Once I removed this add-on, the problem went away.
