Change search engine in address/location/awesome bar:

you must modify keyword.url in about:config

type in the address bar about:config

then press the button i'll be careful i promise

then type in the bar keyword.url

then right-click on it, select modify, type http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&q= (for google), click OK,

exit firefox and restart-it.

or see also : Keyword.URL

thank you
