Hello, I would like to search from the Firefox URL bar with Bing.com.AU Australia only is there a way of doing this please?

Things I have tried

1) Searched Firefox addons and can not see a Bing.com.au search engine.

2) I have looked in "about:config"-used search term "search" and noticed that "browser.search.CountyCode" is already set to "AU" and "browser.search.region" is also already set to "AU" but when I do a search it only shows .com results.

I have looked in "about:config"-used search term "search" and noticed that "browser.search.CountyCode" and "browser.search.region" is already set to "AU" On closer scrutiny the search results do seem to be showing .com.au results so perhaps it is doing an Australia preference search.

Thanks for user input, but I think we can close this now.

Hi, have you tried going to the site first, then adding it to your search engine list? See Add or remove a search engine in Firefox.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

That is fine for the default search engines, which I already have installed ie Bing.com Google.com Yahoo.com but what I would like is Bing.com.AU and there does not appear to be one in the Mozilla Addons. I am really looking for a Firefox setting solution as described in my first post. :)

"the-edmeister" - Many thanks but is there a way of seeing the code on those addons? I like to reduce the risk of possible malware by knowing what the addon is doing and the changes it makes.

I would really like to know how I could change FIrefox through the settings or about:config.
