Change default search engine used when searching from the normal address bar in firefox?

Every time I do, it uses some crap called search.web and it makes me mad.I can't find on the internet how to do it, and i never remember to use the search bar in my browser. I want to be able to type in general words in my address bar like I used to, and it take me to google.|||Google is supposed to be the default search engine in Firefox.





This is their main page on how to setup the default engine:


http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/sea鈥?/a>





From my understanding though, the URL address bar is not a search engine, so when it can not locate the "search terms" used (mostly based on previous search history) it will default to your Internet provider search engine. In my case it's TDS.





If you wish to use the URL box instead of the search box, then I would suggest the closest wording to the site you wish to go to.
