Firefox URL bar no longer searches in google
When I type something into the URL bar it no longer searches in the search engine Google. Instead, if I type in, for example 'google' I get this: http://gbt.toolbarhome.com/search.aspx?srch=ku&q=google
I believe this is from a toolbar that mysteriously was added to my browser a couple weeks ago. I uninstalled and deleted a few files that required me to go into safe mode to do, but it still searches with this. Is there a way I can change the URL bar to search google again?

The toolbar may have changed a hidden preference.
- Type about:config into the location bar and press enter
- Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
- Locate the preference keyword.URL, right-click on it and choose Reset
Searching from the location bar should now hopefully bring up a Google search.
