Doesn't work for me. Ask.com has overtaken Google as my default search. I've gone into About:config and tried many of the suggested approaches. No luck so far.
Still a problem when using CTRL-K, when using a right click on a string search, and when using the Tools menu drop down.
Tried changing the about:config. It takes, but does not change what is happening. Checking the about:config after a reboot and the google search url is their - just not being used.
The Preferences not saved issue does not help either.
Currently stuck with yahoo, unless I go to the navigation menu bar.
instead of
http://www.google.com/webhp?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient just reset , it goes back to google
