Default 'Search-Results' problem!

Hi,

I tried Hotspot Shield free yesterday. And it installed Search-Results toolbar.

I uninstalled Hotspot Shield and Search-Results toolbar.

When I used to type and search anything in the main address bar in Firefox, it would take me to googel search page. Now it takes me to Search-Results page.

Also Search-Results engine is present in Firefox search bar.

How can remove Search-Results from search bar and make my search in the address bar take me again to google page?

Please help me.

Best Wishes,
ams963

Thank you. I've removed Search-Results from search bar by following link 1. But link 2 says the connection has timed out.

Now how do I reset address bar to search in google when I type something instead of Search-Results?

Type about:config in address bar and hit Enter. A warning will be shown to you, don’t panic just press “I’ll be careful, I promise!” button.
In Filter box, type keyword.
Right-click on keyword.URL and select Reset.

Source is the second link.
