But it also broke search, making it impossible for affected users to use its integrated search engines like Google and Bing. The good news is that Firefox 78.0.1, which goes live soon, will fix the search issue.
The Firefox 78 search bug
Shortly after the release of Firefox 78.0, a user reported a search issue that resulted from updating to the latest stable version of the browser. Apart from the search issue, it seems that the browser’s address bar isn’t working any more. Moreover, the start page’s search function is defective right now. Engineers at Firefox appear to have discovered the root cause of the issue. They’ve identified a couple of bugs that point to a malfunction in the local database that the search service utilizes. The team started working to resolve the problem shortly after it made it to the Bugzilla forum. Firefox 78.0.1 should address the search problem anytime now.
