My "Awesome Bar" is no longer using Google for search. It is using Yahoo. I want to switch it to Google, again.
The Firefox URL address bar defaults to a search feature if the browser does not recognize the entry as a valid http, https, ftp etc URL.
Until recently, it used Google. It is now using Yahoo search and I want to switch it back.
Efforts to use Time Machine backups of my library files have not fixed the problem.

Matt,
After reading the article you mentioned, I looked at the about:config file. There were so many things wrong that I decided to download another copy of Firefox. The new copy of firefox solved my problem.

Hey Shewmaker,
You should take a look at this article on the Location Bar. It will show you how to change the provider for the location bar search.
Hopefully this helps!
Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
