How do I make Bing my default search engine? E.G., the FF home page has 'Google' above the space in which I can type my search query which of course takes me to 'Google'. How to change this to 'Bing'? That is my question.

I don't want to change my homepage. I just want to have the choice in the search box top right of having Bing in addition to Google and Yahoo.

I try to install and it says Firefox is not supported. I have os 10.5x but only a powerpc machine. Does it require intel? If so they should say!

Going to http://www.discoverbing.com seemed to do the trick for me. I clicked the big orange button that said 'Make Bing your default search'. A dialog came up asking if I wanted to install it in my search box. One more click--and I was done. Hope this helps.
