Make Google Your Default In FireFox

Ask.com is the most irritating but others can grab your default search in Firefox. Bing and Yahoo are also a pain. Even after uninstalling Ask traces will be left. Listen, I like Google and if I want to change it I WILL TELL YOU!

Type a word or phrase into your address bar and see which search engine works. Are you happy with it ... no? Then do this.

In about:config type keyword.url and enter http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&q=
This is the original default

Check out your other browser defaults.

In your address bar, type: “about:config”
Say yes to voiding warranty (very funny)
Inside of the filter search box, type: "browser.search"
Click the unwanted entries and type "Google" (watch if url is needed sometimes)
Firefox needs to be restarted to take effect.
