What I reallly need is how to keep bing from being the search engine on firefox, seems like every time I am using it, it hangs up and never goes to what I'm searching for. On my laptop, google is the search engine and it NEVER screws up/hangs up!!!! If Possible I truly would prefer having Google as my default search engine, and my only search engine, I'm beginningb to really HATE bing!!!

If it looks like you need extra help; This add-on will reset the search engine. After, it will remove itself.
