    1. Open Firefox

    2. In the address bar type

    about:config

    3. There will be a prompt saying "This might void your waranty" click

    I'll be careful I promise

    4. A list of configuration items will display

    In the "Search" box type

    keyword.url

    and the appropriate entry will display in the list

    5. Click on the keyword.url entry in the list to open it

    A dialog box will display showing the search string

    6. Change the search string to the new desired value

    For Duck Duck GO:

    http://duckduckgo.com/?t=lm&q=

    For Google:

    http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=

    For Yahoo!:

    http://us.yhs4.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?fr=sfp&...

    click ok and the new entry will be used for searching from the address bar.

    You're done! Close the about:config tab and continue your business as usual. Consider removing the search bar for a cleaner looking browsers window and more space to see url's.
