Firefox is great we all know it, but there are a few little irritations that arise from everyday use.
Luckily most can be fixed easily! My favorite fix is for one of the most handy feature of Firefox, namely the 'search from URL box' option.
By default in Firefox entering some text in the URL bar will search Google.com and this is great but I would always want it to search Google.co.uk by default.
This can be relatively easily achieved through editing a few simple configs in Firefox.
Firstly you need to edit the config of Firefox. to get this enter 'about:config' without the '' in the URL box (of a new tab).
You will get a funny warning (there will be dragons) but just click ok to continue.
Next you will see a long list of option a bit like the registry (if you have ever looked through it), and you need to narrow this down a bit to find the bit you need to edit. To do this type 'search' in the filter box, and the list will instantly shrink to items with search in them.
The option you need to edit is the one with the Google URL in it. (keyword URL) Double click on the URL to edit the search string and if you just want to change to the UK search simply change the .com to .co.UK Hey presto.
This wont add UK as the default search but will search Google.co.UK.
This is the UK Google URL: http://www.Google.co.UK/search?btnG=Google+Search&q=
