The ISP hijacked my search.

[aimeeandbeatles]

Sometimes I forget the URL of a site, so I just type the main part of it into the address bar. Normally it goes to google, but now I notice it goes to my ISP's search engine.

OK, I know it's easily fixed, but: How did they manage to do it in the first place? It's MY computer!

EDIT: Funny thing is, when I go into about:config, it still shows up as Google. grrrrr....

ANOTHER EDIT: http://searchmanager.eastlink.ca/ Yet when I clicked "opt-out" it didn't work.


STILL ANOTHER EDIT: Restarted the brower and all is fine. But I still hate it.
