How do I restore search engine back to default, not http://search.avg
At some point in the past I downloaded the latest AVG virus software and now when I enter a search word at the main Firefox page it goes to this AVG search. All I want to do is get back to the Firefox default when I installed Firefox. By the way, when I go to the default tab it says that Firefox is my default browser but I don't think that is my problem.

If you are referring to the "Search Container" on the about:home homepage, try deleting the webappsstore.sqlite file in your Profile folder - with Firefox closed.

Start Firefox in Use Troubleshoot Mode in Firefox to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

You can modify the pref keyword.URL on the about:config page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or Google's "Browse By Name".
- Google "I'm Feeling Lucky": http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
- Google "Browse by Name": http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
