Stop OpenDNS’ hijack of Firefox

with 7 comments

I love OpenDNS but really dislike the page it redirects to when you enter a keyword into the URL/address field while using Firefox. Here is how one would fix that:

Enter about:config into your address/URL field.

Enter keyword.URL into the filter field.

Double click the value section of the keyword.URL line. A dialog window should pop up and enter one of the following depending on search engine preference.

http://www.google.com/search?q=

http://search.yahoo.com/bin/search?p=

http://search.live.com/results.aspx?q=
