How do I completely remove Bing?

Out of no where, Bing replaced Goodle as my Internet browser on my Firefox.
How did this happen and how can I delete?

Please do the following.<br><br>
#In the location bar where you normally type in a web address, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter.<br><br>
#If you see a window which says "This might void your warranty!", click the button which says "I'll be careful, I promise" so you can continue with the next step.<br><br>
#In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL'''<br><br>
#Double click it and remove hxxp://www.bing.com/search?q= and replace it with http://www.google.com/search?q= and then click OK.<br><br>
#Close the tab
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'''.<br><br>
* Go to the site you want to set as your homepage.<br><br>
* Click the Firefox button, go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''.<br><br>
* Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu.<br><br>
* Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen.<br>
If this suggestion resolves the problem for you, please click the '''Solved it''' button ''next to this post'' after you log in into the forum. This will help others searching for a solution to the same problem.
Thanks.

  • How do I completely remove Bing from Safari

    I have tried to remove Bing from Safari by doing the following:
    1) Checked that default search enging is google
    2) Turned off extensions (and deleted install.mac extension)
    3) Searched fo Bing in finder without success
    All the discussion suggestions complete the steps above, but they have not worked for me. I'd really like to stick with Google and dont really want to try other search engines
    Kind regards

    Look to the right of Safari's address window.  You should have a search engine window.  Click on the SE icon inside the window & select Manage Search Engines.

  • HT1918 how can i completely remove a credit card from my account?

    how can i completely remove a credit card from my apple id?

    Hi Craig,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Using the steps from the article above (iTunes Store: Changing your payment information), you should be able to select "None" as your payment method. This will remove your credit card from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID).
    Changing your payment information using an iOS device
    Tap Settings on the Home screen.
    Tap iTunes & App Stores.
    Tap your Apple ID. (If you aren't signed in, enter your Apple ID and password and tap Sign In.)
    Tap View Apple ID.
    Enter your Apple ID password.
    In the Edit section, tap Payment Information.
    Update the information that you want to change.
    Note: You can find the payment methods that the iTunes Store accepts in the Payment Type section. If you don't want a payment method on your account, select None in the Payment Type section.
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy

  • Updated 05 to 06 - how do i completely remove ilife 05?

    have installed ilife 06 - but ilife still remains in my home> applications folder - how can i completely remove ilife 05?
    or has it overwritten the previous ilife05 folders?
    Ilife06 is in Mac hdd> applications folder.

    Steve:
    Not sure what you mean by iLife is in your Applications folder. When installed you should have the various iLife applications, iPhoto, iMovie, iWeb, etc., in the Applications folder. When you install the next version it replaces those applications with the new versions. There should be no iLife folder in the Applications folder. Did you create such a folder and put those applications in there? If so then the iLife 06 may have just installed it's applications in the Application folder where they should be and left that iLife folder that you created alone. If that's what you did, drag that iLife 05 folder to the Trash. But make sure you have the V6 applications in the Applications folder. They should not be placed in a subfolder. Doing that will not let the updaters find them and update.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • How do I completely remove a background from an image & keep it as a .jpeg?

    Hi , I already know how to remove backgrounds from images, and create a transparent background.  However, I need to be able to use the resulting image in another program  called Scratch.  And as far as I know, it does not accept  .tiff, .pgn, .psd or gifs.
    How do I completely remove that background so that it doesn't show up white in other programs when I save it as a .jpeg?

    Jpgs don't support transparency.  It looks like Scratch may support pngs and other formats, but the transparency may not come through.  From what I've read, you may have to use the transparency brush in Scratch to achive what you want.

  • How do you COMPLETELY remove EVERYTHING "googled" from your system?

    I think I finally got rid of it.  I searched drive C for "beats" and "beat" and erased all of them that appeared to be related to Beats Audio.  I had to do that three times, each time deleting any Beats files tht showed up in a search.  Finally, after the third boot, nothing showed up in the search.  My audio is working just fine, and no more Beats Audio.  I imagine I could still run Beats through the motherboard but, as long as i don't try to run Beats, it's no longer automatically loading at boot.
    Thanks for your time.

  • How can I completely remove failed App Store downloads?

    I have two purchases from the app store that have failed - they will not complete no matter what I try. How can I completely remove them to start again? Thanks,

  • How can I completely remove my App Store purchases ?

    How can I completely remove my App Store purchases ? I delete certain apps from the iPod but they still are listed under 'purchased apps'.
    I need to completely remove then from history as well

    You can't permanently delete any items from you purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they don't show in the Purchased tab for re-downloading : hiding and unhiding.

  • How can I completely remove a plug-in from Aperture 2.4. Installing latest plug-in from HDR does not register with Aperture.

    How can I completely remove a plug-in from Aperture 2.4. Installing latest plug-in from HDR does not register with Aperture.

    It is not a good idea, to manually delete registry keys. Java uninstaller removes all registry entries that are needed to perform clean future installation.
    You might see some of the keys not removed by Java unistaller but they do not prevent any user from doing fresh installation of Java in future.
    Java removal tool is currently being developed, but that is for removing old/unsecure and unsupported Java versions. The tool isn't really intended to remove current/above security baseline versions of Java.
    Also, the tool does a standard un-install using msiexec /x. It won't specifically delete registry keys - it lets msiexec do it.

  • How can I completely remove iTunes and all associated files/programs from my Windows PC?

    How can I completely remove iTunes and all associated files/programs from my Windows PC?

    iTunes, along with Quick Time, iCloud, Apple Software Update, Bonjour, Apple Mobile Device Support and Apple Application Support can all be removed from your PC by uninstalling them using 'Uninstall or change a program' in Control Panel. The only obvious thing that will be left behind is your iTunes library which remains untouched. If you want to remove that as well it's just a question of deleting it.
    Hope that helps.

    You can't. Default Apple Apps cannot be removed. If you sign out of your Apple Id in Settings->Messages->Send & Receive->Apple ID then the iPad will have no knowledge of your Phone number.

    Go to your Control panel and then look at "Programs" and click on Uninstall programs and from there scroll down to the Open Office program and click on it and uninstall it.
