After some recent upgrades (7 and 8) when I type a search term in the Awesome Bar, it doesn't automatically do a google search, it gives an error saying firefox couldn't find an executable .jar file. How do I fix this?
When I first got firefox at version 3 or 4 it had the feature to redirect whatever search term I typed in the Awesome bar into a google search. I loved it but in recent updates it keeps saying "Firefox can't find the file at jar:file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/omni.jar!/chrome/en-US/locale/browser-region/region.propertieshello." how do I fix this

Try this:
In the address bar, type "about:config", without the quotes
then
Press the enter key
then
in the filter window, type "Keyword.url" (without the quotes)
then
double click on the "Value" field, and type in "http://www.google.com/search?q=" (without the quotes)
thank you

Thanks it works properly, but it's kind of slow for some reason. Oh well, thanks a lot :D
Wonderful! My problem was that a searchbar was imposed on me when I installed some software (even though I unchecked the relevant box). I went to about:config and managed to get Google search to come up but only a blank search box rather than actual results. I now have what I want - many thanks, ideato!
