Change search engine in address/location/awesome bar:

you must modify keyword.url in about:config

type in the address bar about:config

then press the button i'll be careful i promise

then type in the bar keyword.url

then right-click on it, select modify, type https://startpage.com/do/search?language=english&cat=web&query= (for startpage), click OK,

exit firefox and restart-it.



thank you
