    The dropdown for the other search engines is next to the google "G"

    do you have any bookmarks or other customizations that you want to keep? If not, trash this folder:

    C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\some random characters

    If you want, just rename that whole folder to "old profile" or whatever, and then copy the bookmarks.html into your new profile. It will create a new profile when you start firefox.
