How to make Swagbucks my default search engine?

When I go in to switch out my default search engine, Swagbucks is not one of the choices. Visiting that site hasn't done anything to add it to the list of search engine options. It seems Firefox only wants me to choose from the search engine options they list -- or what am I doing wrong?

Hi

I have had a look at Swagbucks and it does not appear to be a search engine, but a site that you have to register to use.

I do believe that they have an extension that you can install that will allow this functionality link, but please be aware that this is being installed from outside of the Add-on site and may include banner advertising in the browser.

Thanks so much for your quick reply to my question. I will try that and see what happens. I didn't realize it wasn't actually a search engine, but you're right, Yahoo is actually the search engine for Swagbucks.

Now I'm off to try the link and see if I can once again get rid of the annoying "firefox not responding" and "script" problem.

Thanks!
