Hello!

I am making an application in c#. This application have to change the default search provider. I tried to edit the file prefs.js. See it:

user_pref("browser.search.defaultenginename", "Doudol");

user_pref("browser.search.defaulturl", "http://doudol.com/index.php?q={searchTerms}");

But did work. Anybody have Any ideia?
