ff6.0.2: New Instance of Awesome Bar's default search changing from Google.

The default search engine for my Awesome Bar changed from Google to Yahoo after today's update to 6.0.2.

This issue is similar to http://bit.ly/pRq0SM - but like I said, I'm on v6.

I'm unable to change this back to Google (or from anything other than Yahoo), even after disabling all add-ons, checking settings in about:config, and completely removing Yahoo from my search-engine options.

For anyone interested in replying, please note that I'm talking about the Awesome Bar - not the Search Bar. The Awesome Bar isn't so awesome if I still have to rely on the Search Bar.

Thanks! :-)
