Google as default serch in Firefox web address bar

[Reckoning]

I have found instructions online as follows:

Type about:config in address bar of Mozilla Firefox. You must confirm you know what you're doing.
Type keyword.URL in filter box.
right click on the preference name and hit Modify
paste this into the box that opens: http://www.google.co.in/search?btnG=Google Search&q=
Now Type browser.search.
defaultenginename in filter box
right click on the preference name and hit Modify
paste this into the box that opens: Google
Now Type browser.search.defaulturl in filter box
right click on the preference name and hit Modify
paste this into the box that opens: http://www.google.co.in/search?btnG=Google Search&q=
Now it is fixed, simply close the about:config tab and resume normal googling


I did this but when I got to the step "Now Type browser.search.defaulturl in filter box"
That does not exist. I had COMODO antivirus on this machine and it was defaulting to a COMODO search. So I uninstalled COMODO and now it is doing a dlink default search. Anyone know how to correct this?
I do understand you can use the search box to the right of the web address bar to google search but would like the web address bar to also be able to be used as a search bar, thanks!

Why not try this https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/omnibar/ in Firefox. I have it.

The easiest way:

1. Open firefox in "Run as administrator" mode.
2. Backup your bookmarks and other manually added/altered data.
3. Use the guide: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems
4. Then check whether your "search engine" problem is solved
5. Import your Bookmarks and other Data from the Backup
