Check for Firefox plugins that will allow you to set some defaults
client-side. I think LifeHacker has one. It's a GreaseMonkey script.

You might also be able to specify it in the URL for the search box, so you
could add a specific search to your search box options in Firefox.

There are also probably ways to do it via google accounts if you login and
allow google cookies.
