I've stumbled upon https://www.ixquick.com/eng/download-ixquick-plugin.html EXPERTS ONLY: Find instructions here on how to make Ixquick your default search engine in the Firefox/Seamonkey/Flock URL location bar. which points to https://www.ixquick.com/eng/company-faq.html#q18 (ixquick manages startpage.com) Will try that...
