How do I change the search engine in the navagation tool bar so it is not Bing?
When ever I type in a word or site in the navigation space it searches for it using Bling.

Click on the Bing Icon.
You will see a drop down menu
select the required search engine.

That answer works in the search engine field, but if you type directly into the address field you get bing. Seems almost like a sell-out to microsoft, if I have Google (or Bing, or Yahoo, or whatever) as my chosen search engine in the search engine field that is what should be used in the address field also.
LEFT click on the b-for-bing icon and you'll see yahoo, amazon, wikipedia, eaby, and google (at least, that's what I see). Click on whichever one you want and that's what will show up every time you open firefox
I adamantly agree with butterflybear.
After some research I think I found the problem, and the solution. both can be found: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Keyword.URL and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Location_Bar_search
Warning! be careful! 1. type "about:config" in your address bar 2. type "keyword.url" in the filter 3. open another tab and read the pages I linked above. For Google, you're likely going to change your Keyword.URL to: http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
Before I made this change, somehow my Keyword.URL was set to: http://www.startnow.com/s/?src=addrbar&provider=Bing&provider_code=Z064&partner_id=284&product_id=379&affiliate_id=&channel=310&toolbar_id=200&toolbar_version=2.0&install_country=US&install_date=20110805&user_guid=1F2EB2749FD741C59175A1BF3107D082&machine_id=edf3440e227525bdb12bd8164ec3fa43&browser=FF&os=win&os_version=6.1-x64-SP0&q= -how the heck that happened... I'm not sure.
