Change Address Bar Search Provider from century link to google
To fix the default search engine used at the Location Bar, change the value of keyword.URL in about:config to one of the values shown in Location Bar search at MozillaZine.
- Google Search (Google search results page)
http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
- type in about:config into the location bar
- if the warning message nonsense comes up uncheck the box before dismissing the dialog message
- filter on keyword
- right-click on keyword.URL and choose "modify" then paste in the Google search engine string of your choice.
You might also try filter in about config to see if there are other variables containing "centurylink" however it was spelled in your former location bar external search. If a single value you can probably just reset it, ask if in doubt, but you aren't likely to cause any problems, unless it is embedded in a variable with a lot of other urls then you'd want more information.
More information on configuration variables available in about:config entries and for users not familiar with the process there is about:config (How to change).
Please mark "Solved" one answer that will best help others with a similar problem -- hope this was it.
You might also log into your CenturyLink account and change preferences.
