After you finished installing your shiny new add-on you realize that it has set all of firefox’s search engine defaults to Yahoo (or sometimes AOL depending on the toolbar). No problem, you quickly set Google as your default search engine again.
You start typing in a website address and it turns out to be incorrect. Easy fix, Google will correct the problem and redirect you to the proper site. WRONG
You find that you have been redirected to a Yahoo! or AOL search result page. Now what do you do? How do you change it back?
Instructions:
1. open firefox, type in “about:config” in the keyword box (address bar).
2. search for “keyword.url”
3. right click on the URL and select “modify”
4. copy and paste one of google’s three ways of searching:
http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
Google’s “I’m Feeling Lucky” (default pre-Firefox 2.0)
http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
Google “Browse by Name” (Automatically takes you to sites with a clear match, else performs a Google search) (default in Firefox 2)
http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
Google Search (Google search results page)
