SP2 default search in Firefox 21 is google.com, which does not work, even when firewall is disabled and connection is "no proxy", nor when cache en cookies cleaned and pc restarted; Google.be (I live in Belgium!) does work fine.

Thanks for the help.
I did the keyword change as you suggested. In the web-search box, the search seems OK (found one web-adress with the search-term in it; one only, is that OK?) In the google box, the problme is unchanged.
