How do I retain Mozilla Firefox but DITCH (please!) Bing as search engine? I love Google; and love Mozilla Firefox, but will not run Firefox if Bing is now required search engine!
After uploading FLV media player last night, I found that "Bing" had taken over my PC. I do not want "Bing" as a search engine; I don't want it installed on my computer. I do not even want it displayed as an option! Mozilla with Google is outstanding, and I depend upon these two programs working in tandem!

To revert to Google as your preferred search engine, please do the following.
- In the location bar, type about:config and hit Enter.
- In the filter at the top, type: keyword.URL
- Double click it and remove whatever's in there and replace it with http://www.google.com/search?q=
The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.
To reset your home page, do the following.
- Go to the site you want to set as your homepage.
- Click the orange Firefox button and go to Options | Options | General
- Make sure it says "Show My Homepage" in the first dropdown menu.
- Click the button called "Use Current Pages" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen.
After you complete the above steps, install this add-on to prevent another search engine from modifying your preferences: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/browserprotect/
