Changing search engine, but I cannot enter "about:config"
After installing Bing by accident, I cannot search using the location bar. Searches are redirected to the Bing search engine. I've tried to solve it with the help right here (http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Searches%20are%20redirected%20to%20another%20site), but I am not able to open about:config. I get the warning message for a few seconds, but then it disappears without entering the configuration.
So, I've got two questions: How can I enter about:config. And how can I change this search engine and delete Bing?
