Searchbar broken in v23, and problem with add on - js related?

Question

Since upgrading to v23, the searchbar no longer functions - I can enter search terms, but the drop down appears on my second monitor, and when hitting enter, nothing happens - i.e. searching from the search bar no longer works, for any search engine installed.
Also, while it may seem like an unrelated issue, I use the Devonthink add on, in order to capture html pages from firefox directly to Devonthink Pro. After capturing the HTML page into DTP, I can than convert it to a searchable PDF.
When converting the page captured from v23, in DTP, all I get is a mirror image and a partial capture of the viewable portion of the original HTML page.
Both of these functions worked perfectly in v22, but are broken in v23. I have since downgraded to v22, and both functions work as expected, so there's clearly an issue with v23 of Firefox.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state '''while saving your essential information.'''
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
