SW Version: Linux Mint 17 32-bit with Firefox 34
Steps to reproduce:
I added Google to the list of search engines, then set it as default.
Actual results:
When typing in the search box search suggestions do not appear (even though the corresponding checkbox is selected). If typing e.g. "circuit" nothing appears (unless I previously searched something including this word).

Workaround:
I solved the problem by following this http://
