I can temporarily set my Internet keyword search service to Google's Browse by Name service, but how can I make that setting permanent?

I'm using Firefox 5.0. In about:config, keyword.enabled is set to "true," but keyword.URL is set to chrome://browser-region/locale/region.properties I can modify it to http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&q= but when I exit and then restart Firefox, the keyword.URL is back the way it was. How do I permanently fix this? With keyword.URL set to chrome://browser-region/locale/region.properties, if I attempt an Internet keyword search, I get the error message, "File not found. Firefox can't find the file at jar:file:///C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/omni.jar!/chrome/en-US/locale/browser-region"

The setting chrome://browser-region/locale/region.properties is a place holder that will be substituted to the value specified in the current locale and should not show up in about:config

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

I set the keyword.URL preference to the Google Search-by-Name URL, changed to the default theme, and then restarted in Safe Mode with add-ons disabled. When I then checked keyword.URL, it had changed back to the "chrome:" setting.

I set keyword.URL again and then disabled all plug-ins, exited Firefox normally, and restarted in Normal Mode. Again, keyword.URL had reverted to the "chrome:" setting.

I then reset keyword.URL, left all the plug-ins disabled, and restarted in Safe Mode. Once again, keyword.URL had reverted to the "chrome:" setting.

Sorry to be so clueless, cor-el, but I'm afraid I don't know what a locale is. I tried to read your link to mozillaZine, but it kept timing out after 30 seconds. Is that because of too much volume? So are you saying that my current locale is supposed to reset the keyword.URL preference from the "chrome:" setting to some valid value, but that isn't happening? What else could cause this besides a bad extension, theme, or plug-in?
