I am trying to change the awesome bar's search engine to Bing, but it keeps redirecting to my ISP's search engine, which is Optimum Online. I tried going to about:config and changing the keyword.URL value to "http://www.bing.com/search?q=", but that does not work. I checked my add-ons, but they all seem non-conflicting. Any ideas?

Thank you.

You may have an ISP that automatically redirects you to a search page if a DNS look up fails. This takes the control from Firefox to do a search. You can contact your ISP and ask for a DNS server to opt-out of that feature. You can check if there is a link on the search results page to go to your ISP and opt-out. You can set different DNS servers.
