If you are a Firefox user, you probably already know that you can just type a keyword in the address bar and you will get directed to the page you want.\u00a0 Also, the default search engine is Google. Sometimes when we download an application like AIM or some toolbar like Ask,com, it suddenly changes our default settings. Here is how you can remedy that:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. To change the default search engine: In your address bar, type in:\u00a0 about:config<\/strong> Approve the button that shows up telling you to be careful about changing settings. Inthe filter type
    \nbrowser.search.defaultenginename<\/strong>
    \nDouble click that entry (or right click and choose \u201cModify\u201d) and then type in the name of the search engine you wish to have as the default search engine.<\/li>\n
  2. To make the keyword search in the address bar work if it stopped working, do the following: in the address bar type about:config <\/strong>Approve the button that shows up telling you to be careful about changing settings. In the filter type keyword.url<\/strong> then double click it and paste this: http:\/\/www.google.com\/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Hope this was helpful. It took me a while to figure it out. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
