Everytime I open a new window my browser gets hijacked by bing conduit. I have tried lookng in add ons but don't see it. I like to check my horoscopes with Cainer and now this won't open either and I have been using it for years. I just want to have firefox and eliminate this Bing scurge!

You can check in "Windows Control Panel > Programs" for recently installed programs to see if anything from Conduit or any other suspicious software like Search Protect shows up.

  • Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features > Uninstall or change a program
  • Click the Installed column to sort by this heading

You can open the about:config page via the location bar and search for prefs that refer to conduit. You can reset user set (bold) prefs via the right-click context menu to the default value.

If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:
