The locationbar search goes to Bing even though the "keyword.url" string is set to use Google.
When I type a search query into the location bar, Firefox used to autocomplete the URL (eg, if I typed "Mozilla" Firefox would send me to "http://www.mozilla.com") or do a google search for what I typed. Currently, Firefox performs a Bing search.
I have attempted to solve this problem by changing the value of the "keyword.url" string in about:config, however the string contains the default value. It never said bing, although it performs a bing search.
I have just updated to the latest version of Firefox and the problem still persists.
