[GUIDE] How To Change Your Default URL Bar Search in Firefox

Introduction
So, Firefox has this wonderful search feature implanted in the 3.5 version to compete with Google Chrome's "Search Google". Sometimes, the default search is not something we like. So, I decided to write a short little guide on how to change it.


The Guide

1. So, let's just start with a clean tab.

2. In the address bar, type "about:config" (without quotes) and press enter.




You should see this:


Just be careful and click "I'll be careful, I promise!"

3. So, your screen should have all this gibberish.




Click in the filterbox and search "keyword.URL"





4. Right-click on the only result and click "Modify".



This pop-up should pop-up :



Enter your search engine URL of your preference. Make sure you get one from the list. Restart Firefox, and test!

Here is a list of search engines:

Code (Text):

1.  
2. Google - http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
3. Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=
4. AOL Search - http://search.aol.com/aol/search?s_it=comsearch40&query=
5. Ask.com - http://www.ask.com/web?q=
6. YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=
7. eBay - http://shop.ebay.com/items/?_nkw=
8. Google Images - http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=
9.  

If you would like some other search added, please just post or PM!

Finale and Credits
Well, I got the idea to write this guide from this thread: Has FF always been this cool?
