• Address bar search engine on Firefox
    3 replies, posted
I posted this in the H&S forum's question thread but I'll try here too: I'm on the newest Firefox and when I type something that isn't a link into the adress bar it normally went to Google and searched for what I'd typed, but now it has somehow changed to Yahoo and I wanna change it back to Google and I have no idea how. Anyone got any ideas?
A possible solution could be to type "about:config" in the URL bar, find the line that says browser.search.defaulturl, for Google it should be "https://www.google.com/search?q=" The line could also be keyword.url but I think that was nuked in recent versions I'm not completely certain since I'm using a pretty old version of Firefox
