Why does FireFox's default searching go to wikipedia?

Post by oemmozillazine »

When I type in any text under the search bar, in past, it went to google, but now, it goes to wikipedia.
I would like to know on why FireFox's default searching goes to wikipedia instead of google, and how to change any setting.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Check in > Tools > Settings > Search & change the default that you require...there.
Remove any that you do not need.
