I noticed you have two different keyword search extensions, so before describing the built-in settings, it probably would be best to understand:

  • What search engine do you want to use in the address bar?
    • Do you need special features of that search engine?
  • Or do you want Firefox to never search from the address bar?

By the way, the Keyword Search extension's settings are available on the Add-ons page. Either:

  • Command+Shift+a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons

In the left column, click Extensions. Then on the right side, find Keyword Search and click its Options button.

I am not familiar with the other one.
