Most of the time firefox uses google as a default search engine when a search query is typed in the location bar of the firefox web browser.

At some circumstances like installing web browser based scripts and softwares like yahoo messenger the location search is changed in to other search engines. To avoid this, we should not install the particular software which is the cause, but it is not the solution, the solution is very simple and also very crucial at the other hand.

Let me explain step by step,

  1. go to  ” about:config ” or type the quoted words in the location bar
  2. firefox warns you to be careful when editing the following changes, accept that,
  3. go for ” keyword.URL ” in the list,
  4. right click and choose modify
  5. for ‘ I’m Feeling Lucky ‘ Google search preference paste the following url http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&q=
  6. for ‘ Google Search Result on the tab ‘ paste the following url http://www.google.co.in/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=1G1GGLQ_ENIN340&=&q=

likewise you can change your search preference to any of the search engine you like.
