I want to change the ADDRESS of Amazon.com as it is used in the search engine, not the order in which it appears in the search engine list.

You will have to edit the amazondotcom.xml file (or other search engine that you want to modify) in the searchplugins folder in the Firefox program folder to achieve this.
It is probably best to make a copy of the file and place it in the searchplugins folder in the Firefox Profile Folder.

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

  • Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder

If you do net have a searchplugins folder then you need to create this folder. In the case of the latter you will also have to change the name of of the search engine in the file I don't know which changes you need to make in your case, so you will have to figure this out yourself.
