AS an example, when I put "Huddersfield University" into the Firefox start page, it takes me to https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=huddersfield+university&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b&gfe_rd=cr&ei=bVV3WOimEqbS8Ae_jYawAQ

No matter what I do I can't find a way of getting it to go directly to the web site I want (and the google search takes ages - the reason why I want to replace it with Firefox.

Hi, Firefox is a browser, and Google is a search engine that can be used on any browser. If you want to change the search engine to another one, please see - Change your default search settings in Firefox

If you want to go directly to an address (URL), you can type it into the address bar and press Enter.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you!
