It turned out to be quite simple:

in the Firefox address bar, type: 

   about:config
   click the button that says: I’ll be careful, I promise
   in the filter box, type: keyword.URL
   double-click on keyword.URL (under the Preference title)
   In the box that pops up, erase the existing text and then enter: http://www.google.com/search?q=
   click OK
   optional: close the about:config tab and restart Firefox

there you have it!
