    up in the right hand corner of Firefox there will be the search bar To the left of it there should be a dropdown box you can click.

The Preferences are available under Tools if you're running Windows (or perhaps they're called Options?) and under Firefox if you're running MacOSX. Also, when you're running Firefox, if it's just fresh installed, remember that little search bar off to the right of the address bar? It comes set up with Google by default, I believe. So you could type in your search there. (It might amuse you to know the Google folks pay a lot for that treatment, and the Feds looked into Firefox's non-profit status because Firefox was getting so much money from Google.)

What OS do you have? That will determine how you get to the preferences dialog. For Linux, it's what you said. For Windows, it's Tools->Options, and for Mac, it's Firefox->Preferences.
