Firefox 1.5
If you are unable to search or add new search engines in Firefox 1.5 or earlier, the issue is likely a corrupt localstore.rdf file in the profile folder. See this article for a solution.
Firefox 2
Starting in Firefox 2, the search function no longer relies on localstore.rdf [1]. If the Search Bar no longer works and you can't add new search engines:
- Exit Firefox and go to your profile folder.
- Delete (or rename) the file "search.sqlite".
Re-start Firefox to see if it solves your problem.
