How do I make all google searches, even those initiated from extentions, to search google.com instead of my country google (google.co.in)?

Google has a feature wherein if I visit http://www.google.com/ncr, it performs all subsequent searches at google.com, instead of my country's google (google.co.in). For this to work, I have to manually visit that page every time I start firefox. I want to make it so that all my searches by default happen at google.com instead of google.co.in, even those that are initiated by extensions. Can I somehow configure this in Firefox?

Thanks.

  • Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Private Browsing mode.

Do not use Clear Recent History to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
