Restore temporarily the Search widget to the main toolbar: 1) Right-click on Main toolbar select Customize 2) Find the Search widget, the one that now has the DuckDuckGo icon with the dropdown option, not the one with the magnifier, and drag to Main toolbar 3) Click the dropdown on the newly restored Search widget and select engine of choice. 4) You can now remove the Search widget with right-click on Main toolbar select Customize and drag off the widget Now you will have your default search engine in the Location widget and in the right-click option menu... -- Take care, Jonathan ------------------- LITTLE WORKS STUDIO http://www.LittleWorksStudio.com _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
