If you type 'not found item' into the main url address bar (not into the search bar), then firefox defaults to google.com and shows you the entry there. How can I change the search engine used by default there? - It is not related to the 'top' search engine you set for the search bar...so I am hoping there is somewhere else it is set rather than hard-coded? Thanks
