== Issue

==

I have another kind of problem with Firefox

== Description

==

The name says it all. Keyword.URL is set to default, "http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=" It brings me to a Yahoo results page when I type a Non-URL into the addressbar. "http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=searchterm&fr=greentree_ff1&ei=utf-8&type=374563" How can I set it back to Google's "I'm feeling lucky" default?

== This happened

==

Every time Firefox opened

== Recently, no new addons however.

==

I can't seem to open the toolbar you are talking about. I'm not sure I can access the settings based on your link. I do not have that toolbar accessible, nor does AVG open anything in a new tab.

more options

You are unable to do as the instructions say: ~~red:*Or, from the Toolbar you can click on the AVG logo drop down, and then click on Options 2.Once the Options Dialog has opened, click the "Advanced Options" Tab~~

Also, under the image of the panel, it says: ~~red:Note: To access the Toolbar Options, be sure that the AVG Toolbar is visible in your browser. Click on View > Toolbars and make sure AVG Security Toolbar is checked.~~

If you can not access it, then you may need to see if someone at AVG can assist you in opening the Options > Advanced panel. I do not use that product.
