How to remove Bing as a search engine in Firefox
Bing can sneak into your system in a number of ways. The most common is an add-on:
- Open the menu at the top right in Firefox and select the category "Add-ons".
- If you switch to the "Extensions" on the left, you will find the add-on called "Bing Search Engine".
- If you click the "Remove" button to the right of the extension, the add-on will be deleted.
- The next time Firefox is started, Bing will have completely disappeared from the browser.
It is also possible that Bing is only set up as a standard search engine. Then you need to change the default Firefox search engine.
