Firefox updated this morning for me, and now my search bar doesn't work (all search engines were cleared) and I can't find Google as an available search engine to add back. Further, when I do get search results from whatever engine I use, when I right click and say open in a new tab, nothing happens. Really scratching my head on this one since I've never had issues like this before.

Hi, please can you try doing this and give us the information so that we can hopefully identity the exact issue and let you know what to do to fix it?

  • Start or Restart Firefox
  • As soon as it is started, go to the three bar menu -> Web Developer -> Browser Console (not the Web Console).
  • Right-click and Select All
  • Then Right-click again and Copy Message.
  • Paste that into a comment here.

That will hopefully give us enough information, but we may need a little more. Either way, we'll hopefully be able to get you running again.

Not sure I follow what to do after clicking the link. I see the below, but not sure I understand how to complete the "anything in the devtools console and send to :asuth. (unexpectedBreakage)" part.


Specific Subsystem Statuses:

LocalStorage

   Good: Totally Working. (fullyOperational)

QuotaManager

   Good: Totally Working. (fullyOperational)

IndexedDB

   Bad: Our test logic is broken, please copy and paste the contents of 'Debug Info' below and anything in the devtools console and send to :asuth. (unexpectedBreakage)

Cache API

   Bad: Totally Broken. (fullyBroken)

Hi, I'm currently working on what we need to get you running again, hopefully will have something in a few hours.

In the meantime if you're around, if you go back to https://firefox-storage-test.glitch.me/, you should find there's a Debug Info section at the bottom of the page, could you copy that here (see my example page in the image below).

Regardless of if there's a debug info section or not, please could you then stay on the page, go to the three-bar menu, Web Developer, and this time select "Web Console".

That will bring up a slightly different console to before, but should include the appropriate messages. If you can right-click -> select all, right-click again -> select copy message, then paste that output here.

Hopefully that should give us enough to take a look at what's happening. As I said at the start, I'll double check the best way to get you running again, and hopefully have something shortly.

Hi again, in addition to the above, could you try and get a little bit more information for us, then you can get going again.

  • On the address bar, enter about:telemetry.
  • In the search box at the top-right of the telemetry page, enter QM_FIRST_INITIALIZATION_ATTEMPT
  • If it finds results, can you take a screenshot and post it here please?

All this information should hopefully help us fix this for other people in future releases.

Once you've done my previous comment and this one, the easiest way to fix your problem is to refresh Firefox. Note that this will remove any extensions you have installed. There are more details on how to do it, and exactly what it does here: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings

When I searched above, it didn't bring up any results. It just said "Late Writes"

Thank you for the extra information. That's about all we need for now, we'll continue to look into the issue.

Please feel free to do the refresh that I mentioned before:
