Empty Firefox Search Bar
In my 1.5.0.9 Windows version of Firefox, all the search sites in the Search Bar disappeared one day. Didn't realized how much I used that Search Bar until it wasn't functional. I tried reinstalling the app, and when that didn't fix anything, I suspected that the problem was in the user specific application data. I deleted the
Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox
directory and all my settings got cleared.
I've customized my Firefox so much that it was going to be a pain to redo all the settings and so I restored my settings directory from the trash and proceeded to wade through the Profiles
directory and removed one file at a time to figure out which caused the Search Bar to come back.
In the end, it was the localstore.rdf
file that turned out to be corrupted. When I removed it, my Search Bar returned to normal. Yay!
