howto remove google search as default on address line
Firefox defaults to google when typing a search query on the address lines. How can I remove google and replace it with Ixquick. I removed google from the manage search engine list, but it still works on the address line.

Change search engine in address/location/awesome bar:
you must modifykeyword.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 https://ixquick.com/ (for ixquick), click OK,
exit firefox and restart-it.

Thanks for your quick reply.
- 1 Your recommendation worked.
- 2 Already installed ixquick as the default search enging.
Is there a way to have ixquick (on the address line) work similar to what google did? Type in a search query then it automatically queries in google. This would simply be a convenience.
