Re: firefox3 changing default engine IN URL ADDRESS BOX? SOLVED!

[macintoshzoom]

Thanks Ali Gunduz, It works!

I replaced default google by my favorite ssl filtered/cleaned google 
searcher:
For Firefox3, replace about:config > "keyword.URL" value by:
https://ssl.scroogle.org/cgi-bin/nbbw.cgi?Gw=

If any of you prefer the scroogle non ssl version (not encrypted ,, 
aaaag, your boss, isp, gov, everybody eavesdrop on you to profile you 
for later who knows ...) :
http://www.scroogle.org/cgi-bin/nbbw.cgi?Gw=

To get these also as an option in your searcher box, upload the proper 
search engine of your choice and language at:
http://mycroft.mozdev.org/search-engines.html?name=scroogle
You must enable temporally mozdev (use noscript) to use javascript to 
download your chosen search engine on one click, this site is from 
mozilla foundation, so it's safe.

Add to Search Bar: This addon enables you to add any new search engine 
to your search box list by just right mouse click on your open page 
searcher text box:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3682

Context Search : Choose any of your search box engines to search a word 
from the context menu:
http://www.cusser.net/extensions/contextsearch/

Searchbar Autosizer :
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1172

Thanks again Ali Gunduz!
I was spending much time researching this tweak.

Mac.
