After installing ICQ on my PC I noticed that the default search engine in Firefox had changed. When typing keywords in the address field the search for these keywords was suddenly handled by ICQ Search and no longer by Google.
Follow these steps to get rid of ICQ Search and go back to the default Google Search engine:
- In the address bar type: about:config
- In the filter field enter: ICQ
- Right-click browser.search.defaultenginename and choose reset
- Right-click keyword.url and choose reset
