Hi,
how do I change the search engine used on my Android Firefox install? Currently it uses google.com, but I would like it to use google.co.uk.
I have sync set up and working and my desktop to use .co.uk, but Android still uses .com.
Cheers, Jamie

Re: Android - Change default search engine
To change which search engines appear as options in the search screen, you can install search plugins and use the add-on manager to enable and disable search engines.
To change the default search engine used when you type a search in the address bar and press enter, you can change the keyword.URL pref on about:config.

Thanks mbrubeck, I didn't realise that about:config worked in the Android app.
