Some stupid program changed my search to Yahoo, and I went to about:config to get rid of it.I changed some strings back to default and got rid of it, but now whenever I type a random word in the URL bar, it goes to (word I typed).com instead of Google. How do I put it back to Google?

You can modify the pref keyword.URL on the about:config page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or Google's "Browse By Name".
