I hate it. If I wanted Microsoft garbage I would use IE. (I was also attacked by Bing taking over my Firefox search box, but got rid of that by using uninstall of "Search Toolbar" in c:/programfiles") I guess this is all from a drive-by install with some other software, but I consider it a rape of my system by Microsoft.

No! I was able to stop the Firefox search bar from defaulting to Bing, BUT every new TAB gives me a Bing search bar near the top of the browser face.
