How do I remove a search bar from Firefox?

A search engine bar was installed on my Firefox browser somehow. I do not want it. I have looked under plug-ins and extensions, but it is not listed there. I tried looking under control panel > uninstall program, but it's not listed there either. How can I remove this please?

Your system details list shows a Bing Search extension , so you can uninstall that extension.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

If you need to reset search related preferences then look at the SearchReset extension:

Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).

How do I uninstall Google search bar in Firefox 12

How do I uninstall Google search bar in Firefox 12. I can search in URL bar and this search just takes up extra space.

If you read [[How do I customize the toolbars?]], you can find the customize box. Simply drag the Google search bar into this box, and it will be gone :)

HOW CAN I REMOVE "ASK" SEARCH BAR AND GET BACK FIREFOX SEARCH BAR?

If this is the Ask.com toolbar, you can remove it by following these instructions: '''[http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4 How do I uninstall the Toolbar?]'''
You may also be able to '''[[Uninstalling add-ons|disable or uninstall the add-on using the Firefox add-on manager]]'''.

How to remove the search bar from new tab page?

I've added extra pinned site rows and columns on the new tab page.
The new search bar is redundant and space hogging.
Please provide how to disable in step by step instructions :)
Edit:
Answer
1. Go to Firefox Profile Folder (go to about:support in Firefox then click Open folder/Show in Finder to get there)
2. Open or create the chrome folder in the Firefox Profile Folder.
3. Create a blank text file, copy and paste this code into the text file.
@-moz-document url(about:newtab)
#newtab-search-container, #newtab-search-logo { display:none !important; }
#newtab-margin-top, #newtab-search-container { display:none!important; }
4. Save it as userContent.css (using ALL FILES under the drop down menu)
5. Place the new css file into the chrome folder.

Fox_1923: You're not supposed to create a new chrome file but a userContent.css file in the chrome folder.
You can use mine and cor-el's code together in the userContent.css file to get rid of the large margin in the top along with the search box. I've used it just fine in the latest Nightly and so have others who dislike the search box.
One thing you could be doing wrong is not setting the file type to all Files and Notepad or whatever else you are using is adding an unneeded extension (for Windows, .txt = userContent.css.txt doesn't work!)
See this for clarification:

How do I remove the search bar that continues to reappear no matter how many times I manually remove it?

For a short while now the search bar has been appearing on my Firefox browser. I don't want it there and removing it using the 'custom' settings when I click in a blank area in my browser does not work, it keeps coming back along with the 'bookmarks' button.
No, there is nothing in my Add/Remove programs that resembles the search bar in any way, shape or form. I've already checked again and again, it's simply not there and not an option.
Yes, I've checked if perhaps it were one of the plugins I use and that is not the case. I've removed all the plugins to check and it still appears.
I don't want this bar there, it's annoying and I want it gone. No there are no options to remove it in its options. I don't care about how useful other people say it is, I find it annoying. Every time I open Firefox it's there...I want it gone.
Refer to screenshot: http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t254/MasakoTomoe/untitled-2.jpg
So, how do I get rid of it?

Seems that may have worked and that's great, thank you. But now I have another problem which seems to be as persistent as the search bar has been.
Now when I edit the bar and position of the buttons some of those buttons disappear when I click Ok in the customization, but reappear when I reopen the customization settings.
Why is that? When I put a space in between some of the buttons the buttons near the space will disappear and leave a blank space where it should be.
I'm beginning to be rather annoyed with this Firefox Beta to say the least and am considering returning to the version before it. Whatever I do now as far as customizing is concerned of the toolbar is reset every time I reopen Firefox. The buttons are no longer where I had set them up, the address bar is stretched to it's maximum, the Menu Bar is back the far left edge, buttons are missing that I had put there, and buttons I had removed are returned.
:| I know it may seem insignificant to some people but it annoys the crap out of me. I understand this is a beta and if there is no solution then I perhaps will use the earlier version for a while.
Thanks for your input by they way, it's much appreciated.

I want to remove the yahoo search bar from Firefox and use the google search bar.

I did go to about:config and made the keyword.URL to default (Google). It is not getting affected. Please help me to know how can I set it in Firefox.
I need to remove yahoo search from my Firefox and use the Google search. I did the following steps for the same.
about:config, searched keyword:URL and reset to default.
But the change is not getting affected. Pls help

Work around that I have used (my machine is running Windows XP SP3 might work on other systems as well):
1) Ensure Firefox is closed, if necessary read this in another browser
2. Open the Firefox directory on the hard drive (typically: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox)
3. Go into the 'searchplugins' folder
4. Delete the file named 'yahoo.xml'
5. Immediately restart your machine

How can we remove the scroll bars from the table?

Hi,
I have a dynamic table. Currently the table appears with the scroll bars. But there is a requirement that the scroll bar should not appear and the table should stretch in the entire page. How can this be achieved.
Thanks in advance
Nita

Thanks Mohammad for the reply.
Was able to remove the scroll bars by using only the styleClass as AFStretchWidth. But there is a default partition in middle of the page still? Can i remove that too by any way.

How do I remove the title bar from a Palm PDA front panel?

On several PDA screens, I need all the real esate I can get. The title bar chews up a lot of it. Is there any way, in the vi settings or programmatically, that I can remove the title bar?
I've already tried the obvious step of unchecking "window has a title bar" in the window appearance catagory of the vi properties. No apparent effect is seen.

Hello,
It sounds like you are referring to the GUI actually on your Palm devices. I believe on Palm devices all applications have a title bar, and there isn't a way to get rid of it. My guess is that perhaps this is a feature you can enable/disable as a Palm OS setting, or may simply be the way the Palm has defined its user interface. If you have your Palm devices handy, check out the display settings to see any has an option to remove the title bars in general. If you find out either way, definitely repost so the community can find the answer here as well!
Thank you,
Best Regards,

How can I remove the search bar/list of recent chats on my iMessage app.

I don't want to delete all the convos. I want to just be able to ONLY see the chat of who I am talking to. No recents, etc. Currently, if i am using iMessage to talk to someone on my mac, a list of all the contacts I've messaged with appears on the side and it shows a preview of my chat.
this is currently what it looks like... and i can push the edge over to only show the contact image cards (which i still do not want)
I would rather it look like this: (a cropped screen shot)
is this possible at all? or do i have to live with seeing at least the most recent contacts heads... lol thanks in advance........

You can check on the about:config page if the browser.urlbar.autocomplete.enabled pref is set to false if you want to disable the location bar drop down list.

How do i remove the search filter on firefox?

Safe search is enabled on entire computer. I've tried over and over to remove it by going to the preference page but no luck... I am the administrator on this computer. I've had it for about a month and i'm still new to being user savy...

Run the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Search Reset Tool]
