Ok heres the problem.

In about:config

searched for keword.url

had - chrome://browser-region/locale/region.properties as the setting

tried to change to - http://www.google.com/search?hl=&q=

works with the changed link, until you restart firefox. then it reverts back to - chrome://browser-region/locale/region.properties

any ideas why it wont save my change?

preference for keyword.URL works when set, but reverts at start of new session

I would expect that you are overriding it in with a user.js file in your profile. It that is the case simply remove the override from user.js modify through about:config (not by editing prefs.js) and restart Firefox. user.js is optional, if you don't have the file, its mention does not apply.

Another possibility is that the about:config file is write protected from copying from a CD-ROM which is read only. If that is the case you will see several numbered version of prefs.js in your profile.
