Is there anything to be done, or do I just need to reinstall Firefox. I've opened every options, settings and preference menu there is, but there's nothing to aid me. Any of you have any ideas as to what to do?

• At Firefox address bar, enter about:config and press ENTER.
  
• At Filter: field, type keyword.url
  
• You should see a Preference name of keyword.URL in the list. Double click it, a “Enter String Value” input box will appear.
  
• Replace the string with:
        http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
  
• Click “OK” button and done!
