How do I change the search box in Firefox to be google.co.nz as a default?
Currently whenever I search anything in my google search box there is no long a 'show pages from New Zealand' option.
Is there a way to change the default search to google.co.nz instead of google.com to overcome this problem?

Awesome! Thanks so much!
You can also modify the search engine for the about:home page.
- Open the about:home page in a tab
- Open the Scratchpad via "Firefox/Tools > Web Developer > Scratchpad" (Shift+F4)
- Paste the code in the Scratchpad window
- Use "Execute > Run" to run the code
- Close and restart Firefox to make the change effective
localStorage["search-engine"]="{\"name\":\"Google\",\"searchUrl\":\"http://www.google.co.nz/search?q=_searchTerms_&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a\"}";
You can inspect the current search engine via this code in the Scratchpad window with the about:home page on display.
Copy the value via Ctrl+A and Ctrl+C to the clipboard.
prompt(T="localStorage[\"search-engine\"] = \n\""+JSON.stringify(localStorage["search-engine"]),T);
