Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - firefox keeps automatically changing default search engine

neil95 · 06-20-2009, 05:29 PM

Ok, for some reason, whenever I type something into the address bar and hit enter (for example "wikipedia"), instead of going to google which will try to guess the domain and then automatically redirecting to wikipedia.com, my searches get redirected to google.co.in. It's very annoying. I went to about:config a million times and reset the keyword.url value to the original

http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-...ient&gfns=1&q=

but whenever I exit out of firefox, this value is reset to

http://www.google.co.in/search?hl=en&q=

Please help
