[SOLVED] Fast Search and Startxxl

I had Firefox exactly how I liked it,

And the address bar was pretty inteligent, knowing when I'd typed an address, and knowing when to use google and when to just go to the nearest website(I'm guessing it used "I'm felling lucky")

But I reinstalled and now, it goes to StartXXL.com as the homepage (yep I know how change this)

But now there is no Google search engine installed instead there is this crap fast search, and I hate it. How do I change to google?

I got it so when I type g KEYWORD it searched google, but before I reinstalled I never had to type the g, it would automatically use google.

I really hate this fast search and StartXXL thing and if I can't change it I'd consider going back to IE, (Chrome is quite good except the mouse wheel is that great)

Re: Fast Search and Startxxl

Never mind, I must have downloaded in from the startxxl website, so it had all their rubbish on it. I downloaded it again (also it was 3.0.5 i had with the startxxl on it)

So now everything is good again , I couldn't quite believe mozilla would do something like that.

Also I couldn't delete the thread, don't know if I'm allowed to or what.
