Is that Leap or TW? What did you do before? Try with a new user. This is leap 42.3 with standard repos firefox from standard. I am using Italian local language.
The problems are: searchbar (that is the little window right to the address bar), does not react and does not offer any search machine. The address bar does not react if you are typing and then press return. This does hit all existing preexisting users and is apparently subsequently to the recent updates. I will try now Patricks suggestion with a profile.
With a new user is a stronger version of the same and leaves your current configuration intact.
creating a new profile and after testing deleting that new profile accomplishes the same w/o creating a new system user account and is less system invasive. and the new profile can be deleted using firefox's profile editor or "rm -rf ~/.mozilla/firefox/<new-profile-name>"
I think that creating a new user for the purpose of testing is less invasive, as it doesn't change at all the current user.
Once the issue is found is the time to decide what to finally do.
different strokes ....
creating a new user changes many system related files including a new firefox profile which is all that starting ff with a new profile creates.
And also starts with all user configs reset, including any desktop adjustments that may interfere. It is just a new directory under home and an entry in the pswd file. Both can be undone in a click. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
