    - Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    - Locate the preference browser.tabs.warnOnClose, if its value is set to true, double-click on it to change its value to false
    - Repeat this for these 3 preferences browser.warnOnQuit, browser.warnOnRestart and browser.showQuitWarning

Change Firefox awesome bar search engine

I have gotten used to just typing in whatever in the Google Chrome omnibar to search.  I also use Firefox, and the awesome bar does not work the same by default.  Change Firefox awesome bar search engine at cnet shows how to change it.

- Go to "about:config" in firefox
- Double click on the keyword.URL setting.  Save the setting in case you want to go back.  Mine was "http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q="
- Change it to the value you want I changed mine to "http://www.google.com/search?q="

That changed it so it uses the vanilla settings of Google.

UPDATE 2011-01-12: This does not seem to work any more.
