No search engine is working with my loading of V8 on my new laptop - no Google, no Yahoo, no Bing. I try typing word into search bar - nothing. I try going to website (Google.com) and try to type in search but it doesn't allow me to. What the heck??? V8 works on my PC but what is up with the one I loaded on my NEW laptop??

Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

How about with a new, empty profile? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic%20Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
