Before upgrading Firefox, I could right click on any highlighted terms on a web page and do a search on Google for those words. Now Firefox is doing the search on Bing. I hate Bing and want to go back to Google.

I've already changed the keyword.url to be Google, not Bing, and have similarly done the same with browser.search.defaultenginename. Neither change has solved this problem.

Damn you, Firefox, for hijacking our settings with the upgrade! Really sucky and not Mozilla-like.

Change the search engine selection in the Search Bar (upper right). That is what controls the search engine used in the highlight/right-click search.

You can try this add-on. It will list all of your installed search engines for you to choose the one you want to use in highlight/right-click search:

The answer above is really helpful so I'm not going to add anything but to propose a different solution. There is a tool called clickto which can be downloaded for free at http://www.clicktoapp.com. To launch a google search you highlight a word, this word can be part of a word document, of a PDF-file or it can also be a word on an internet site. You copy this word with CTRL+C and select the icon google search, which appears among others immediately after you pressed the keys. This way you can launch a google search. I installed it a few days ago and it's really speeding up my work.
