What is a SIMPLE way I can get rid of the Bing toolbar that installed when I upgraded to Firefox 12?
I felt forced to upgrade to Firefox 12 a week or so ago because Firefox warned it would do it anyway. I most unhappy with the fact that when I type in a URL, it is in a Bing rather than Google search box. I did change the search box at the right back to Google, but I am stuck with Bing when I type in a URL and click on it. I find no Bing indicated in my Programs to uninstall on my computer. I can't override by installing Google toolbar again (my preference) because supposedly it's no longer compatible. :-( What to do?

Do you mean searching via the location bar or via the about:home default Home page?
Try:
If it is a problem with the about:home page then try to reset the search engine used on the about:home page.
Reset the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone pref via the right-click context menu to the default on the about:config page and close and restart Firefox to restore the about:home page to its default.
- Open the about:config page via the location bar
- Type in the Filter bar: mstone
- Right-click the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone line and select: Reset
- Close and restart Firefox
If that didn't help then delete the delete the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder and repeat the above.
