I have problem changing the search engine url for both url address bar, and the search engine plugin. My Firefox version is 35.

Specifically, I want to use Google.co.uk for every search, but it goes to different country of Google.

I tried changing the about:config->keyword.URL: value: "https://www.google.co.uk/#q=" , but it doesn't work,

I also tryied changing the search engin plugin, which doesn't work either.

You need to install a search engine for your preferred country and select this search engine in "Options/Preferences > Search" as the default search engine.

Further to my post, if I type google.co.uk into address bar, it doesn't redirect. It redirects to other county of google when I type search key words into either address bar and the search engine plugin.
