Although I have checked all appropriate boxes in ff 3.5 Google will not list / display previous searches. Was working fine until a week or two ago. Any suggestions.

Right mouse click on the little triangle to the right of the name Google when showing in the tool bar search window.
There should be a drop down menu with a section labeled "show suggestions" see if that turns it on or off.
