Google was default web search engine (in URL line, not in search toolbar) before I installed a program and now are the search results given in an unknown search engine (sweet packs). I've already deleted from my computer everything related to it. And I also never give the permission to make changes to my browser, it just showed up.

In About:config modify Keyword.URL , the default value is http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&q= see : Possible values and their effects , and try again.
