disable freecause search in Firefox

Posted: 08 May 2011 11:15 PM PDT

For a while now, I’ve noticed that if I type a serch term into the firefox address bar, I get search results via something called freecause.

Since I prefer Google, I decided to find out how to change the default address bar search.

It turned out to be quite simple:

in the Firefox address bar, type:

  • about:config
  • click the button that says: I’ll be careful, I promise
  • in the filter box, type: keyword.URL
  • double-click on keyword.URL (unter the Preference title)
  • In the box that pops up, erase the existing text and then enter: http://www.google.com/search?q=
  • click OK
  • optional: close the about:config tab and restart firefox
