How can I choose the default search engine in address window?
You explain how to change the default search engine of the "address bar" at top right. I want to know how to change the search engine in the address window at top left. At present, if I type in an unrecognized address, my ISP's search engine appears. I would prefer to have Google's or Bing's search engine when I make an addressing error.

You may have an ISP that automatically redirects you to a search page if a DNS look up fails.
That takes the control from Firefox to do the normal keyword search like a Google I'm Lucky search.
In such cases you need to contact your ISP and ask for a DNS server to opt-out of that feature.
You can also check if there is a link on the search results page to go to your ISP and opt-out.
