I have just upgraded Firefox 9 to 10. I noticed when I fire up Firefox at the Start Page and enter a query at the search bar, the resulting pages are from SearchCompletion engine.

How do I make Google search engine as the default engine at the Firefox Start Page ... like it has always been?

Seems like one of those irritating changes that happens when upgrading versions...

Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

Thanks Swarnava,

Already did a scan with SuperAntispyware ... found a couple of malware but SearchCompletion hijack still persists.

Will be trying out the other scan programs ...
