I don't like to use Google because there are privacy issues which Google is only too happy to violate and hand over to parties I do not want.

I want to be able to use StartPage instead of Google when I type something in the URL space and I want StartPage to be my default home page (already is), default small box search (already is) and defalut search engine (which it is not).

Thanks!

See:


Note that starting with Firefox 23 it will no longer be possible to specify the search engine for the location bar via the keyword.URL pref.

In Firefox 23+ the search engine used in the location bar is the search engine that is selected in the Search Bar.
You can consider to use a (one letter) keyword search for searching via the location bar.
You can set a keyword for an installed search engine via Manage Search Engines (click the search engines icon on the search bar).

Thanks Mark. But I am referring to the URL bar, not the search bar on the upper right corner. The bar on the upper right corner I changed with no problems to Start Page.

My issue is with the URL bar on the upper left corner. Whenever I type, for example, Alan Greenspan, I get Google to do my search. I want to change that to get Start Page to do the search instead.

Thanks again.

Thanks srikar!

I did that. I changed it to Start Page. And eliminated all other search engine choices.

But still, whenever I type the search terms Federal Reserve, I get Google still to do my search.

The home page, and search box on the right are changed to SP. But still I get Google.

Thank you again. Appreciate it.

Cheers!
