The search autocomplete does not work in the Firefox supplied in Linux Mint. This add on fixes that.
Install this plugin rather than playing with the configuration files, which does not work anyway.

Really? Messing with user's preferences like that? BOOhh Linux Mint. This solves the undesirabled, unwanted and uncalled for modification.

"Normal" search in Linux Mint doesn't provide autofill functionality (and even config file edits don't help). This plugin fixes that.

It doesn't drop in network like the other sites and put you in cognito when it thinks your account is jeopardized

Mozilla on Windows allows Google to be the default search engine. On Mint 17 Google is not even available to be set. I believe this is coming from the Mint programmers, not from Mozilla.
This is an under-belt hit from Mint. Mint tried FORCING the community to their WILL.
The main issue is ethical. WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE SUCH UNETHICAL PEOPLE ARE DOING that we don't know about.
The saying says "Your security holes are the people you trust". In this case, Mint programmers. I don't trust them, I removed Mint.
The plugin worked though.

Pardon if i am wrong but i see a silent war between google and firefox - example google adwords does not load on first go on firefox - and new firefox update will not set google as default search engine to open in a new tab
Who will win the battle - Sorry but in battles either one stands neutral or takes sides. In this one i have to move to google and chrome as the browser of choice.
Firefox, i had loved it for last so many years simply because internet explorer was buggy n source of viruses and chrome was still not matured - it hanged up on many a web page connections.
I cannot write in words how an adherent fan of firefox i was. But Now, using firefox is irritating and the only way to fix my frustration is to bid good bye to firefox.

When my 10 year old granddaughter got infected with a browser highjacker this saved me a lot of time after discovering that it had deleted all of her other search options in both of her computer profiles. I still have to put back more options but at least I can search now with a "clean" search engine on her computer. So far, it's working just like it should. :)

This plugin will hold me over for a few days. I've been using Firefox for many years, but I won't use Yahoo under any circumstances, so it's time to find a new browser.
