Are you doing this on the URL bar? On a website?

Is this on Mobile Firefox version or with a desktop Firefox version because this thread is tagged as Mobile?

If it is a desktop issue as your user agent would suggest then you can check the browser.search.defaultenginename pref on the about:config page and make sure that it is set to the default value Google.

Try to reset some preferences to the default with the SearchReset extension:

Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).

Otherwise, where are you searching?

  • searching via the location bar (pref: keyword.URL)
  • search bar on the Navigation Toolbar
  • search bar on the about:home page (pref: browser.search.defaultenginename)
  • other search bar (e.g. added by extension)
