After the recent Firefox 39.0 update, the 'Search' box on the address bar is unresponsive. This cannot be changed or accessed using Options.

You can check if you have the XML files of the default search engines including Google in the "browser\searchplugins" folder in the Firefox program folder.

If not then you need to reinstall Firefox.

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.

You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:

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