297601 2004-11-29 01:58:00 Hi All

I browse with Mozilla 1.7.3. In the Edit\Preferences\Internet Search section I have repeatedly chosen Google as my default search engine but it keeps defaulting back to Ask Jeeves. Any ideas?

Thanks

Brendon :)

Perhaps you could change the details manually in about:config.

To do this type about:config in the location bar.
Filter the results with the term search.
Now change the browser.search.defaultenginename and browser.search.selectedEngine entries to Google. Check out this (sal.neoburn.net) screenshot if you are unsure. Hopefully this is the same in Mozilla as I use Firefox.
