Bing is loading before my Homepage. How can I get rid of Bing?

Just today Bing began to load when I started FireFox before my homepage. I've looked around for Bing on my computer and can't find it. What did I do today you ask...well I did load two programs...which I have since removed. Still stuck with Bing. I've checked add-ons and extensions, looked for anything new in the programs list on the control panel...
I'm stuck here folks....Help!....Please.

Does the same unwanted page appear when you open a new window (Ctrl+n) or click the Home icon or press Alt+Home on the keyboard?
'''If Yes:'''
* Double-check that your home page setting has changed. These articles describe the steps for that:
** [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
** [[How to set the home page]]
* If your home page setting is correct, one of your extensions may be overriding your setting. Open the Add-ons page using either:
** Ctrl+Shift+a
** "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable, or if obvoiusly bad, remove. Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
'''If No:'''
If the problem only occurs when using your Firefox shortcut/icon, it could be hacked. Right-click it > Properties > Shortcut tab. The "Target" for 32-bit Windows 7 should be this (no more, no less):
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
If anything else following that, try removing it.

  • I use Safari in my imac with Google as my search engine. Recently, Bing took over. Extensions shows Google as default search engine, but Bing is what is working. How do I get rid of Bing, go back to Google?

    I use Safari in my imac with Google as my search engine. Recently, Bing took over. Extensions still shows Google as default search engine. Search starts as Google but switches to Bing. How do I get rid of Bing, go back to Google?

    Hey ravenbird1,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you want to use a specific search engine.
    Safari 7 (Mavericks): Search the web
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH17150
    To set the default search engine, choose Safari > Preferences, then click General.
    If you are having problems with extensions you can uninstall and reinstall the extension.

  • Firefox on Mac, now Bing search has replaced Google and I can't get rid of Bing- how?

    Bing has mysteriously replaced Google and pops up in new tabs, etc. I have tried to change this, but Bing pesists. I don't want it, I didn't ask for it (intentionally, anyway) - how do I get rid of it?

    Hi first of all, I mean that I have a bad English.
    I've had the same problem as you and it seems I've solved.
    What I have done is, first uninstall an add-on called conduit firefox engine.
    Second, in the address bar you have to put about: config. And find all strings that say "search.conduit"and put the option to reset.
    I solved it for me the problem, I hope you serve.
    Greetings

  • Can't change my homepage and can't get rid of bing search bar.

    I can't change my homepage. It changed to Bing when I downloaded something. There is also a bing search bar on the top of my page. I am furious. I don't want things deciding on their own what should be on my computer. Why is it so hard to find where to change the homepage or get rid of these toolbars? How can I do it? Your help page doesn't help at all. It leads me to nothing useful. This seems to have affected my computer's performance as well.

    I get this message too. Every time I try to download an app I get a message saying there are 33 apps that can not be downloaded and to try again later. The app I am trying to download does download but I get 'ghost' icons of the others. It doesn't make any sense why the app store is telling me I can't download apps I have already downloaded previously.
    This all started when I entered my ID wrong. The only way to get rid of the ghost icons is to tap them. Otherwise they stay there waiting for the download.
    I can't get this error message to go away. It must be a new bug.

  • Bing has highjacked my yahoo search, I can't get rid of Bing

    A couple of days ago I had to redo my computer's system and when I downloaded Firefox and set my home pages it started with yahoo search as ISP is AT&T. Then all of a sudden Bing took over as my search engine. For a day or so I could not use anything but Bing, and then I was able to get a list on the search toolbar and was able to remove it from there, But now if I type something in the navegation toolbar it uses bing.

    ''cja2 [[#answer-724751|said]]''
    <blockquote>
    I removed the Bing toolbar immediately, and I removed it as a default search engine. But it stayed as the default for when a tab is opened. I uninstalled Firefox but Bing came with Firefox every time. Has Firefox partnered with Bing in a way that Bing is part of the package? I hate Bing and will remove Firefox if it includes Bing
    </blockquote>
    If you are getting Bing when you click on new tab try this: Type '''about:config''' into the address bar, press Enter, accept the warning, scroll down to '''browser.newtab.url''' and make sure 'Value' is set to '''about:newtab''' (right click to change it if necessary).
    Also, if you haven't already, please run the malware removal programs in my original answer.

  • Can't get rid of Bing

    I’m running Firefox 3.5.4 with XP Home.
    The Bing Web page pops up whenever I enter just part of a web page name, i.e. “Netflex” gets Bing page with all the different sites with the word “Netflex”. I looked in Add/Remove and the subcategories of Add-ons and do not find an entry for either Bing or Search Bar. I ran a file search for “bing” and found “bing.xml” in Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\fkmiryyl.default\fkmiryy\default\search plugins. I moved bing.xml into My Documents but Bing still comes up. How can I get rid of Bing?

    What does "no luck" mean? What specifically did you have difficulty with?
    Having Bing hijack your search engine is actually a very direct symptom of having the InstallMac adware on your machine. InstallMac is a variant of Genieo, so you should be able to solve this problem by carefully and methodically following those removal instructions.

  • I set my home page to my school website, but everytime I open firefox it opens to a conduit search Bing website how can I get rid of that a nd lock in my home p

    I set and want my home page to be my school website, "northbranch.k12.mn.us" I have gone to option and set it as my home page. Everytime I start up the computer and start up firefox, i get a conduit search engine with Bing. How can I get rid of this permanently and have my school website come up as the stratup window?

    hello tomterrimort, if your manual changes don't 'stick' after a restart of the browser, please look out for any suspicious extensions (like 3rd-party-toolbars or things you have not installed intentionally) presently installed under '''firefox/tools > addons > extensions''' or the programs section of the windows control panel and remove those entries.
    in case this doesn't solve the issue please try this: go to firefox > help > troubleshooting information > profile folder - "show folder", then a new window will open up. in this window look out for a file named '''user.js''' (it might be used to overwrite your custom settings). in case it is present , delete or rename this file and restart firefox afterwards.

    Use the instructions at [[How to set the home page]].
    If the problem persists after that, you probably have an add-on that is adjusting it. See [[Uninstalling add-ons]]

  • Before opening this message appears:"TypeError:Components.classes(id)Undefined". How can I get rid of this?

    Before opening Firefox 4 this message appears:"TypeError:Components.classes(id)Undefined". How can I get rid of this

    Try the suggested idea above. I just disabled all the add-ons which were not compatible with FF 5 and did a FF restart. That fixed the problem. I then enabled each one, one at a time, with a FF restart until the problem came back. I then disabled that add-on.

  • I synched my iphone4 on my wife's imac to down load pics but got 700 unwanted contacts.  How can I get rid of them without doing one at a time?

    I synched my iphone4 with my wife's imac with the hope of  uploading pictures from my phone.  Instead I now have 700 plus contacts on my phone I do not want. How can I get rid of them except one ata time?

    iTunes does not handle the import of photos/videos from the iPhone's Camera Roll.
    If this is not the computer you sync your iPhone with, you should have been provided a warning message that your iPhone is associated with an iTunes library on another computer and when trying to transfer any iTunes content from a different computer, a warning message is provided indicating that all iTunes content on the iPhone will be erased first.
    When connecting an iPhone to iTunes on another computer, none of the options under the various tabs for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes are selected automatically. This means you had to select Sync Contacts under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your wife's computer.
    Assuming you are syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer, connect your iPhone to Tunes on your computer and without syncing, under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences below the Advanced section, select Contacts for replace info on this iPhone followed by a sync.
    For importing photos/videos from the Camera Roll which can be done with a computer that is not used for syncing the iPhone since syncing with iTunes is not involved.

    I may be wrong and if I am I stand corrected but as far as I know you cannot get rid of the side toolbar. Much the same as you cannot get ride of the toolbar on compact digital and DSLR cameras.
