    Firefox addressbar searches are redirected to OpenDNS

    Can I make some changes so that if I make some search through the address bar in firefox (for example: "ubuntu wiki"), it provide me the page of google search or the "I am feeling lucky" page from the google, like it used to do before?

    To change the Firefox option is very simple, as follows:-

    1. At Firefox address bar, enter about:config and press ENTER.
    2. At Filter: field, type keyword.url
    3. You should see a Preference name of keyword.URL in the list. Double click it, a “Enter String Value” input box will appear.
    4. Replace the string with:
    http://www.google.com.my/search?q=
    Click “OK” button and done!
