Matt,

After reading the article you mentioned, I looked at the about:config file. There were so many things wrong that I decided to download another copy of Firefox. The new copy of firefox solved my problem.

Hey Shewmaker,

You should take a look at this article on the Location Bar. It will show you how to change the provider for the location bar search.

Hopefully this helps!
