reinstate OpenDNS Search With Google In Firefox

firfox_tricks-coolAfter reading the complete guide to OpenDNS, I am sure that most of you might have switched to using it as your DNS server.
Opendns is a great service excluding for one issue. By default Firefox’s address bar is connected with Google search and hence you could directly type a query and press enter to get the search results in Google. Now, OpenDNS automatically replaces this with its own search engine. I came to know only when I conducted a search in my Firefox address bar. It is not difficult to get back the Google search.
