Set up Google.de as a search engine
The Internet browser Firefox, which many users of the World Wide Web use for surfing, simplifies many processes automatically. For example, if you only enter a single word in the address line, he will use a search engine to complete the address himself. You can specify here that Google.de is used as a search engine.
Specify Google.de for the address field
Sometimes it happens that certain programs that you install automatically change your browser's default search engine. You usually only notice this later. By default, Firefox uses Yahoo for keyword searches.
- Of course you can Google.de as your preferred Search engine determine. To do this, first enter the line "about: config" in the address line of your Firefox and then press the Enter key.
- A new window will then open in which you will receive a warning message. Click the “I'll be careful, I promise!” Button here to proceed with your change.
- Now enter the word "Keyword" in the edit field next to "Filter" and click on the entry "keyword" with the left mouse button. Url ". Replace the value of the edit field with the following characters: " http://www.google.de/search? q = "and then click on" Ok "
Switch the search engine to German
- It happens that Google is defined as the search engine for the Firefox search field, but the English version of Google is used here (.com). To change this in Google.de, go to the Firefox settings level with the command "about: config".
- Enter the value "Browser.fixup" in the filter area and change the value of the entry "browser.fixup.alternate.enabled" to "true" by double-clicking!
- For the entry "browser.fixup.alternate.suffix" change the value ".com" to ".de". From now on Firefox will use Google.de for its search.
