I want to ask you about customizing the search engine, instead of Bing as a default search engine changing to google search engine? by the way i'm using Firefox 8.0.

When you get to the options you should see bing in the menu. Highlight bing then type in google.com and ok on bottom it should replace bing. If you cannot find the tools option the go to top and right click and checkmark menu to show the tools bar.
