when I used to enter a term in my address bar, search results through google used to come up; suddenly, I'm getting results from yahoo! I want results to come through google. I've cleared my add-ons and set google as my home page, yet it persists; how can I make it search through google? p.s. I know I can search through google by entering the term in the "search engine" area to the right of the address bar; I want to know how I can do so straight from the address bar!

Thanks!

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