Which errors do appear in the error console? Further please test in Safe Mode to make sure no extension is causing this faulty behavior. See http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode for more information. Thanks.

Launching Firefox in Safe Mode, I was able to use the 'Manage Search List' dialogue as expected.  I then closed the Safe Mode Firefox and launched regular Firefox and was able to use the 'Manage Search List' dialogue as expected.

I'm not sure what happened originally, but it is working as expected now.

Thank you for your time.
