search suggestions not showing
I no longer see search suggestions when I start typing in the search bar. I still have "show search suggestions" checked in Settings, Search.
I should also ask: I don't remember how I enabled the old search bar, to the right of the address bar, mostly because I'm used to it. I don't see a box for it in Settings. What if I wanted to remove it? What if I then wanted it back?
Well, ok, one more. Also in Settings, Search, I see a drop-down list from which to choose my search engine, but no space to add a new one. Where's that? I've seen instructions to navigate to another search engine, but that can't be the way to do it. I normally wouldn't navigate to a search engine's page before searching.

Search Suggestions
In case you are using a private window, is the box checked for "Show search suggestions in Private Windows"?
I think the built-in Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo search engines all retrieve suggestions as you type. If you change your defaults around, do any of them work for you, or are suggestions missing for all of them?
Search Bar
You can add or remove the classic short search bar using the Customize screen. Some relevant articles:
Adding a New Search Engine
Firefox supports adding new search engines through:
(A) An extension (you can search the Add-ons site for what you need)
(B) Using Autodiscovery of OpenSearch XML plugins. As an example of Autodiscovery, while you are viewing a page on this site, you can either:
(i) right-click the address bar or (ii) click the green + badge on the magnifying glass on the classic short search bar
and click the option to add "Mozilla Support" as a new search engine.
(C) Hand-crafted search strings -- incomplete feature. If you want to do something special, see: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1445232
