Ubuntu
firefox package

Defaults to Bing -vs- Google?

Asked by Boglesnurf

Whenever I used to type a single word in the URL bar, I used to get GOOGLE results (like "Amazon" would yield a results page on Google, with www.Amazon.com as the top result.) Now, I'm getting the results in Bing (which I HATE), and have been unable to find out how to put it back as it was. Running Firefox 11. Any ideas?? Thanks!!!
