want google results when typing into url
Hello, When I used to type into the URL I would automatically get Google Search Results (if it was not a valid URL).
Now I get AltaVista Google Search Results.
I want to change this preference back, so that it goes to standard google search results again.
Anyone any idea how to do this ?
It happened when i installed AltaVista Toolbar, I have removed AltaVista toolbar, and the problem is still there. Also reinstalled FF, and still there. HELLLLLP !
