Hello.

In order to change your Firefox Configuration please do the following steps :

  1. In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.
  2. Click I'll be careful, I promise! to continue to the about:config page.
  3. In search bar, type: browser.search.selectedEngine
  4. Click PPM on value, click Reset
  5. Click PPM on value, click Modify and type: Google

Please post back with your results, we are happy to help.
