I changed the "keyword url" setting in about:config to allow it to be used as a google search box, but when I exit and restart firefox it reverts to its previous setting.
chrome://browser-region/locale/region.properties This is the URL that is in "keyword:URL" in about:config in my Firefox 4. I attempted to change it to http://www.google.ie/search?q= so as to use the address bar as a search bar. It works fine while Firefox remains open, but when I exit and come back later to open Firefox and use the address bar for search items I find that it has reverted to the default setting. Can you please help me resolve this issue? Thanks

See:
You can start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
- https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
- Use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window to disable all extensions.
- Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in Safe mode:
- Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
- Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)
