the awesome bar used to be set to goole, but now it's set to bing. how do I switch it back?
when i used the awesome bar it always used google as its browser. but now, it has somehow switched to bing. I personally, like google, and I'd like to know how to switch it back. can you help me?
P.S. its not because of a update to firefox. because it only happened about a week ago, and firefox 4 came out before then.

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=
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.

I tried all of these suggestions and could not remove Bing as default search engine on the Home Page Search Bar. I hate Bing and love Google so I uninstalled Firefox 4 until you have a revision that corrects this big mistake.
Thanks, GL
I switched mine back to Google by selecting it from the pull down menu that appears when you click the little down arrow in the search box.
This is fairly simple to do: 1. In the box on the right side where Bing appears, there is a tiny arrow to the left of the word Bing. Click on that arrow and a message will appear to Manage Search Engines.
2. Click on the message, and a list of your search engines will appear, including Bing. Highlight Bing, then click on the tab that says Remove.
3. That's it. Bing is now gone.
I have this problem also. Note, this is not the search box that has the little magnifying glass on the right side (I know how to get Google there). This is the Navigation (Awesome) bar.
