Thanks. I figured it out. The search was invoking firefox through the command specified for firefox in alacarte(Main Menu). The command in alacarte was a plain '/usr/bin/firefox'. I changed it to '/usr/bin/firefox %u' and now firefox is being invoked with the search url.
I think I had earlier changed the invocation command in alacarte without realizing the consequences. -Abhijith On Sat, Dec 17, 2011 at 3:17 AM, Milan Bouchet-Valat <[email protected]>wrote: > Le samedi 03 décembre 2011 à 22:06 +0530, Abhijith Madhav a écrit : > > My default browser is firefox.
