I use last version of Firefox, I didn't install anything regarding Bing search system, no add-ons, no search system in options - I always use Yandex. Still, each time when I am highlighting any text with my mouse, and click on the button called "Search in Yandex", it drops me to bing website. What on earth is going on? Does someone else encounter this problem and knows how to fix that? Thanks.

Type about:addons<enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager. Hot key; (<Control> [Mac=<Command>] <Shift> A)

In the Add-ons Manager, on the left, select Extensions. Remove “ Bing “ Anything.

Also remove SafeSearch, SearchAssist Incognito, FileConverter Addon, SearchLock, DiscreteSearch, WebSearch, Findwide Search Engine, securedsearch

Now do the same in the computer’s Programs Folder.

Windows: Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs. Mac: Open the Applications folder. Linux: Check your user manual.
