You’re serious about getting Google back as your default search engine, right? You’ll see a scary warning that says, “This might void your warranty!”. Ignore it, and click on the little box that says, “I’ll be careful, I promise!”. After you promise to be careful, Firefox will take you to a page full of intimidating computer stuff. Don’t waste time looking around, and DON’T mess with anything! There will be a filter bar at the top of your page.

keyword.URLAgain, type it in EXACTLY as shown. Do not add commas, quotation marks, or parentheses.
