firefox has changed my default search engine to live search which i cant stand i want google back. how do i do this. i dont mean the box on the right its the main address bar i want to change so i can freely type. its only a little bug i know but its irritaiting
 
Do you mean your homepage or the address bar (location bar) search feature?

If it's the latter these may be of help:

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Keyword.URL

If you want to restore the Google "I'm Lucky" search then perform this simple steps:
1. Type about:config in Firefox location bar and press Enter
2. Type keyword in Filter textbox and you will see only the preference keyword.URL.
3. Double-click on keyword.URL and change the value to: http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I'm+Feeling+Lucky&q=

That's all it takes to restore default keyword search functionality in Google.
 
cheers for your help guys you have saved a lot of anger from windows god awful live search results!
