Accessing Google in Firefox Browser

Hi, I've been involved in IT for many years but have stuck an issue I'm unable to resolve. As a search engine I like to use www.google.com.au which works fine until I log into my Google account. Once I'm logged in to my account the home page reverts to www.google.com and I'm unable to add the .au. I've confirmed it happening on three different machines over the past couple of days. If I use Edge, Chrome or Brave, the problem does not arise, so I must conclude there is an issue somewhere within Firefox. Any help would be greatly appreciated Many Thanks Phil

Hello

Of course, this is not the expected answer, nevertheless, if you wish to try. Add the Search bar to your Firefox toolbar. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-search-bar-firefox-toolbar Add or remove a search engine in Firefox. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-or-remove-search-engine-firefox

Take a look at Mycroft Project search engine plugins.
