Change the Firefox search bar to Google

Ok, most of us have had the problem that in Firefox the big bar that normally displays the URL but if you type into it is a yahoo search bar. Yahoo. Ya-Freaking-Hoo. I always use Google. I hated when I had to use that bar. Now I found a way to change it....

Step 1: About:config

go to about:config

Thanks a lot! I got my search bar changed by some adware, and was wondering how to fix it. For something like this though, why on earth would there not be a place in the settings menu for it?

I've never had a problem with behavior like this, not with Firefox anyway. Perhaps you've installed some Yahoo search thingie and it high-jacked Firefox. Happened to my moms computer after she installed AVG anti virus on it. Anyway, this is good to know just in case.

Strange.... It's always defaulted to google for me...
