I recently downloaded the Firefox update and for some reason when I type in a keyword in my address bar or Google tool bar... I am redirected to "Google Custom search"- not just Google.com SERPs. How can I remove this "custom" view?

Thanks Regina

You have to change the Keyword.URL in about:config to :

http://google.com/search?q=

for Yahoo:

http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=

and for Bing:

http://www.bing.com/search?q=

Hope it helps.

Please Update to the latest Firefox 21.0.x version.

  • Help > About Firefox

The Firefox Firefox 13.0.1 version that you currently run is no longer supported with security updates

Try to use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.

Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
