Starting in Firefox 23, the address bar search uses the same search engine as the search bar (the separate box usually to the right of the URL box which has icons to choose your search engine). You can change your search bar to a more appropriate search engine, or you can install an extension which allows you to use a different search provider for your address bar. * Keyword Search extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/keyword-search/ * [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/968482 keyword.url no longer works, default search uses what is selected in search box, how can I get this keyword.url search from addressbar working again?]
