How to remove Ask.com, Bing and Twitter from search bar?
I'm running Firefox 8 on Ubuntu 11.04. Firefox has decided that the search bar needs Bing, Ask.com and Twitter. In reality, I don't need any of them and I find them a distraction. I have gone to the manage search engines and attempted to remove them, however, this doesn't seem to work. I have also poked around in /.mozilla and I have not located a way to remove these engines. So, this begs the question, how do you remove Bing, Ask.com and Twitter?

You can click the search engine icon on the search bar and open "Manage Search Engines".
You can remove unwanted search engines there.
Thank you for your solution. However, as mentioned in my post and a few others, going to Manage search engines and using the remove button Dose Not Work. You can remove the undesired engines yet when you close the manager the engines come right back. So, I will ask again, how do you remove these search engines?
Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

OK that worked. I will have to go back and redo some of my "customizations" but that is OK. Thanks.
You're welcome
