If you go in Preferences, Search pane, do you see searchplugins listed there? What's the language of the browser?

I'm experiencing the same issue with FF 60.0 on Debian Linux 9 x64.

I tried nuking search.json.mozlz4 and letting FF generate a new one, but that didn't help.

With respect to Francesco Lodolo's questions:
"If you go in Preferences, Search pane, do you see searchplugins listed there?"
Yes, I see the default set.
"What's the language of the browser?"
English.

Do you see any errors in the console? I'm wondering if you are running into:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1446551

Can you please set the pref browser.search.log to true in about:config, delete   search.json.mozlz4  again and post the contents of the console?

Thank you, Mike Kaply. The console revealed a hint to the root of my problem. Apparently there's some incompatibility between FF60 and older versions of Custom CSS Tweaks. Updating to the latest Custom CSS Tweaks resolved the issue, at least for me. However, I have no idea whether TomyByte (the original reporter) is in the same situation, so  this bug should probably remain open until s/he checks in.

Hi,

I if have switched browser.search.log to true in about:config but I can't find the log file. Sorry for that!

But yes, I use CustomCSSforFx https://github.com/aris-t2/customcssforfx and yes, the update has fixed the problem.

Many thanks!
