If there is a problem with searching via the default about:home page then try to reset the search engine used on the about:home page.

Reset the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone pref via the right-click context menu to the default on the about:config page and close and restart Firefox to restore the about:home page to its default.

• http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config

1. Open the about:config page via the location bar
2. Type in the Filter bar: mstone
3. Right-click the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone line and select: Reset
4. Close and restart Firefox

If this didn't help then delete the delete the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder and repeat the above.

If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:

Well it stopped redirecting me to funmoods but now i cant search anything, any last ideas

Did you try to delete the chromeappsstore.sqlite file and repeated the step to reset the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone pref to make sure that the search engine on the about:home get initialized correctly?

Or you can simply Reset Firefox, which will resolve this in just one click.

To Reset Firefox do the following:

1. Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
2. Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
4. Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.

Note that a "Reset" creates a new profile and tries to import some settings from the old profile leaving the old profile intact, including the cache folder (about:cache) that can take up to 1 GB.

Firefox 15+ versions will move the old profile folder to an "Old Firefox Data-##" folder on the Desktop that gets a number appended if you use reset more than once, so you can no longer use the profile manager to revert to the old profile.

It is best to first try some basic steps to repair your current profile folder instead of creating a new profile via a reset.

Yeah, I deleted chromeappsstore.sqlite file, and repeated the step for browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone, i tried resetting a couple of times but its not working and if i would lose my bookmarks and the like id rather not reset the browser, I still cant search from about:home

A Firefox Reset won't cause you to lose your bookmarks, so if you haven't tried it yet I'd strongly recommend it.

You can inspect the current search engine via this code in the Web Console panel with the about:home page on display.

1. open the about:home page in a tab
2. open the Web Console via Ctrl+Shift+K or Firefox > Web Developer > Web Console
3. paste the code in the Web Console command line that gets selected when you open that panel (Ctrl+V).

localStorage["search-engine"]

Copy the result via the right-click context menu to the clipboard and paste it here.
