That about sums it up. If I disable ABP and restart, it works...by works, I mean I type something in and hit enter and my search results come up, not working means I type something and hit enter or the magnifying glass and nothing happens.

Re: FireFox search bar not working with ABP enabled
Another profile seems to have worked

but I lost all of my settings, addons, etc., and I have to launch FF from the CLI. It seems that there has to be a better way to fix this.

Re: FireFox search bar not working with ABP enabled
bump.
Is there some sort of better solution than to erase all my settings and start over?

Re: FireFox search bar not working with ABP enabled
if the profile is corrupted you have to create a new one
however you could save your passwords, bookmarks

Re: FireFox search bar not working with ABP enabled
I might be missing something here, but has it been confirmed that my FF profile is corrupt, and that is the underlying root cause? I can try the approach you suggested this evening if it has.
Re: FireFox search bar not working with ABP enabled
probably only the devs could confirm such a thing (having a backup of your previous profile)
Re: FireFox search bar not working with ABP enabled
Apparently, I cannot reproduce this issue with FF 28 and ABP 2.5.1. If you are still facing this malfunction with a clean profile, you might want to file it with detailed information about your environment at https://issues.adblockplus.org
