Firefox is awesome. As I use the keyboard and keyboard shortcuts more than I use the mouse, the Firefox search box is more accessible to me than the Google Toolbar. Problem is that it uses Google.com as the Search Provider and not Google UK, which is useful for some searches, and pretty much the same as .com for the rest and unfortunately FireFox doesn’t provide a way to edit it to .uk.
After years of just doing my search and then clicking on the .com bit of the search URL and changing it to .com, I finally decided to do something about and found this post on Chaos Zone which has a link to let you add Google UK as a search provider. Don’t forget to move Google UK up the search provider list so it’s your default. Simples.
