Tired of "Getting Lucky" with FireFox?

I've been trying to switch to FireFox for quite a while . . . it's great, don't get me wrong -- but Mozilla/SeaMonkey still do a few things better than FF.

TabMixPlus does handle *most* of what MultiZilla does; a few more session-management features and it'll be just fine.

And of course AdBlock works in both FF and Moz.

One of the last things that really bugs me is how FF uses Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" search, showing the top-rated hit rather than a list of hits. Sure, the search bar is right there . . . but I just can't get used to using it.

So I finally peeked around and found the answer: Just change the keyword.URL config setting:

http://about.config gets the main config editor; filter for keyword.URL, and change the &btnI=I'm%20Feeling%20Lucky to &btnI=Google%20Search.
