My default search engine for amazon is set to amazon.nl and I can't figure out how to change it. I'm located in the US. As you can see by the attached image, it is not amazon.com

Appreciate any assistance I can get on this.

What is the value of browser.search.region on about:config ?

You can check the connection settings.

  • Settings -> General -> Network: Connection -> Settings

If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet, select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.

Interesting... What happens when you delete it and then click on the option to Restore Default Search Engines? You also try Firefox Refresh from the about:support page. see screenshots
