Cant seem to get rid of this and it doesent show up in the ad ons Where you have the long url bar at the top of firefox next to it you have the small search bar . That used to go to google by default now it will only point to ICQ search. If I go to manage search engines it wont let me remove it or add another one or edit it. It will only let me edit the keyword anybody know how to change this to another search engine ?

right click to the right of the bar where there is nothing. should see a list of active toolbars. I think you can also disable it from tools/addons.

open a new tab... type about:config in the address bar.

type icq in the filter box...

Should bring up the offending things you can switch out.

btw, you can type into the address bar your search terms and if this is the string there:
http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&h...sour ce=hp&q=

you get google.
