Moving to Firefox Support.

Are you referring to the default search engine displayed in the search field at the top right of the browser window, or to the location bar search process?

thanks for the quick reply - on the login screen - it's immediately under the username and password ribbons.

oops sorry - getting my questions mixed up. it's the default search engine - to the right of the address bar.

But I think I figured out the problem. I had the AOL Toolbar lurking in the background and that kept changing my default back to the AOL search engine.

Now that I've removed the soltware it seems to be working.

Thanks
