Firefox has crashed and burned. I've been using it forever. Now, it no longer works on my computer. I give up. I've had to go back to Internet Explorer. I can see your customer support is just as bad as everyone else's. Sooo GOOD BYE FIREFOX!

Question

It started last night with you tube. Just a black box. Videos worked fine w/Internet Explorer. Now, nothing opens. Everything I try to click - doesn't open. It drags across all parts of the screen copying everything. It's frustrating. It's over. Firefox must be dead.

You can use the Tab key to select a search engine on the bottom bar and press Enter to use the search engine to do the search.

In the current Firefox 34 release there is a new "one-off" search bar.
This search bar doesn't show the name of the search engine and a logo.
You can type one letter to make a drop-down list appear where you can see suggestions and see the used search engine and that also has bar at the bottom where you can select other search engines that are enabled via the Search tab in Options/Preferences.
You can use the Tab key to select one of the other available search engines and press the Enter key to search with the selected search engine.
Click the search engine icon and click "Change Search Settings" to open the Search tab in Options/Preferences (positioned between Tabs and Content) to select the default search engine and select which search engines to show in the search bar drop-down list that opens when you start typing search terms.
