Stopping Mozilla's drop-down "Search Netscape Search" menu

To prevent Mozilla from selecting "Netscape Search" every time you type a URL, edit the file .mozilla/username/*/prefs.js and change the line
 user_pref("browser.search.defaultengine", 
       "engine:///opt/mozilla/searchplugins/NetscapeSearch.src");
to
 user_pref("browser.search.defaultengine", "");
