Hi

When I type in a Google search in the top right hand search box in Firefox, it automatically uses www.google.com - I need to use google.co.uk. How can I set it to search using co.uk?

Cheers!

Add a google.co.uk search plugin.

Load that Mycroft page and select the search engine you want. Category 11 is the general search engines, the others are for more specialized searches.
