Changing Firefox 3.5 default search engine

Posted by مصطفى in English, Google Jul 20th, 2009 | 4 responses

For some reason my Firefox default search engine has been set to “Microsoft’s Bing” search engine, I wanted to set it back to the default “Google”, so this is what I did after some research

I accessed the config url “about:config” from Firefox and modified the following values

about:config


browser.search.defaultenginename : Google
browser.search.defaulturl : http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=
keyword.URL : http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=
