I WANT BING CONDUIT OUT OF MY TAB SEARCH. i tried everything

So I got a new laptop and with it i got my trusted firefox browser. Sadly however firefox has teamed up with conduit/bing to enforce its search engines on people. They have been doing for some time now as I've read in forums. The worst part though is that I found several solutions of which did not work, pretty recent ones too like going into about:config and modifying keyword.URL.. however that is gone now as if to make it harder to remove this BS. God damn Firefox would have such a higher customer loyalty/satisfaction if they hadn't enforced their greedy dic*s in our choices.
As for other details to help:
I have windows 8.1, newest firefox browser recently installed and have tried deleting and changing the search engine at the top right of my window and tried the config thing^
Sorry for any offence

hello alhajwins, firefox is not bundled or related with conduit in any way. you're a victim of adware on your pc. please try these steps:
# [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
# afterwards go to firefox > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
# finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.

  • How does one add compilation CD's already mixed by the same artist.  I want to put them in their OWN spot under the artist and I want to NAME the album.  Is it possible?  Or am I just out of luck.  I've tried everything.

    I want to find out how to add my mixed CD's under the folder of the artist.  I want to save them on my computer in itunes.  I want to NAME the album, but so far I haven't been able to do that.  I named ONE and then ALL the rest of the CD's I am trying to save are put in the same place.  Very frustrating.
    These are mixed Christmas songs done by the same artist, and some are the same songs.  But the albums are separate.  Why can't I give an album I am exporting a name?

    Indeed, generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.
    Don't try to use sort fields to merge different things together as it quickly goes wrong. These should be used consistently to make all things with one value sort as if they had a different one, e.g. Bowie, David to make David Bowie sort under B.

    If you're running iTunes 11 and you don't see the menus, press Control-B or go to the small icon with the arrow at the extreme upper left and select "Show Menu Bar":
    Apple for some inexplicable reason elected to hide the menus by default in the Windows version of iTunes 11.
    I doubt that this will address a download problem, though. You'll need to provide more details about that; what device you're attempting the download on, the exact error message, and other such pertinent information.

  • I'm trying to change the content of a tab. Can't find info anywhere! My new tab used to come up as Google search page. Now it is Bing, and I don't want Bing

    I'm trying to change the content of a tab. Can't find info anywhere! My new tab used to come up as Google search page. Now it is Bing, and I don't want Bing. I have uninstalled the program that inadvertently put it there but Bing remains. Where is the tab control that hooks me up with Tab content?

  • Bing takes over Firefox, didn't download it, don't want Bing

    Windows 8.1 FF 27.0.1 FF is set as default browser, with tabs from previous session set to open. Bing opens browser when I start computer and adds itself to whatever tabs are set to open.
    This has been asked a number of times, and I read as many answers as I could read before my eyes crossed and I got dizzy.
    One person said Bing takes over every few weeks. Lucky them, Bing takes over every day - when I start my computer, it opens my browser and inserts itself on a tab.
    I HATE Bing, I won't use it, I don't want it. I thought I had been very careful when I downloaded any program, custom install, check every box that it isn't installing something I don't want.
    I have the paid version of MalwareBytes with daily updates and scans and my computer is clean of malware.
    I checked in the Tools tab, didn't see anything listed in the Add Ons, Extensions or Plug Ins that suggest Bing is lurking. But I don't really know what to look for unless of course it said "Bing".
    One reply on a closed question said:
    So, I went to Control Panel (by whatever method you get to your control method, just do it.) And I looked at all the programs which have been installed recently. And there they were, two programs. One called Conduit Search. Another was toolbar (with a number next to it, which I forget.)
    Another said:
    However I found Conduit Search in programs and uninstalled. Needless to say when I restarted my computer I was finally BING FREE!!!!!
    I looked in Control Panel but this has been going on since I got this new computer. I didn't install all the programs so I don't know when it arrived here. I did do a search in Windows Explorer for "Conduit Search" there were 11 files but they were either gif. or shortcuts. When I searched for just "Conduit" there were 77 files found with .xml, PNG, .gif, java script, and maybe a couple others. A couple like .xml, I've never seen before. I also searched for "Bing" there were 54 files including shortcuts, ICO, .dll, WINMD, and more. I looked in Control Panel, Uninstall or change a program but there was nothing about Bing or Conduit.
    I can download and install programs, I can search for files on Windows Explorer, and other standard types of things, but I'm not sure at all about things like starting in Safe Mode or understanding some of the more technical replies, please answer in simple English.

    Run scans with multiple and up-to-date tools. Hopefully it will be easily detected and removed. <br />I would not suggest you try any manual hacks or edits of the Windows registry. (Once rogue files are removed any residual registry entry will not normally do any harm.) <br />
    In this case certainly use '''AdwCleaner''' and do not rely on only scanning with malwarebytes.
    Some of this unwanted software may be hard to detect because there may even be people that install it intentionally. Conduit itself is well known and often not liked.
    <u>Check your Search Bar setting</u><br />
    One obvious thing to check is what you have selected as the search engine in Firefox's search bar. That will be used by all searches is that Bing, or Bing related. By default the search bar offers a few options and the original default is usually Google.
    * [[Search bar - Easily choose your favorite search engine]]
    **[[How to use popular search suggestions in the Search Bar]]
    <u>Check the Shortcuts used to start Firefox</u><br />
    As a test try to start Firefox from the ''Run'' option. Use shortcut Windows Key+R to use the Run option and enter ''firefox.exe'' and hit the Return. If firefox then starts normally the problem may be that you have a corrupt or modified shortcut. <br />Right clicking shortcuts alloows their properties to be displayed, is some site address tacked on to the end of the firefox name ?
    <u>Use the SearchReset addon, after any malware is removed</u> <br />
    Also see [[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]] Note in particular the use of the addon searchreset mentioned in that article. The addon is installs, resets things to normal and then uninstalls itself.

  • I can't remove Conduit from my new tab page, when I reset browser.newtab.url it doesn't remove it or do anything.

    I've already went to about:config and browser.newtab.url but when I try to reset it or Modify it, nothing happens, the words become unbolded and the reset text greys out but other than that this conduit.com thing stays there. I want to get the original new tab I had with my site pinned ect.

    You can check in "Windows Control Panel > Programs" for recently installed programs to see if anything from Conduit or any other suspicious software like Search Protect shows up.
    *Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features > Uninstall or change a program
    *Click the Installed column to sort by this heading

  • I Hate Bing and when I click on a Firefox NEW Tab and search I keep getting Bing results, I used to get Google which I would like back, my homepage when opening Firefox is not Bing but all tab searches retrieve Bing results.

    My homepage when opening Firefox is not Bing, yet for some reason today it started using Bing instead of Google for my NEW tab search results. I already deleted Bing from the search bar, no results. Deleted Bing from my computer's control panel. I just want to be able to click a new tab and have my results in google as I always have.

    hello, you have a malicious addon present on your pc. <br>please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove ''LyricsParty''.
    also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

  • I want to clean out my macBrook pro for my daughter to use in college

    I have a macBook pro I want to clean out, would it be better to take it to the apple counter or do it myself?  If doing it myself, simple simple pls, how do I go about it?

    I assumed you didn't mean physically clean it.
    Follow these instructions step by step to prepare a Mac for sale:
    Step One - Back up your data:
           A. If you have any Virtual PCs shut them down. They cannot be in their "fast saved" state. They must be shut down from inside Windows.
           B. Clone to an external drive using using Carbon Copy Cloner.
              1. Open Carbon Copy Cloner.
              2. Select the Source volume from the Select a source drop down menu on the left side.
              3. Select the Destination volume from the Select a destination drop down menu on the right
                  side.
              4. Click on the Clone button. If you are prompted about creating a clone of the Recovery HD be
                  sure to opt for that.
                   Destination means a freshly erased external backup drive. Source means the internal
                   startup drive.
    Step Two - Prepare the machine for the new buyer:
              1. De-authorize the computer in iTunes! De-authorize both iTunes and Audible accounts.
              2, Remove any Open Firmware passwords or Firmware passwords.
              3. Turn the brightness full up and volume nearly so.
              4. Turn off File Vault, if enabled.
              5. Disable iCloud, if enabled: See.What to do with iCloud before selling your computer
    Step Three - Install a fresh OS:
         A. Snow Leopard and earlier versions of OS X
              1. Insert the original OS X install CD/DVD that came with your computer.
              2. Restart the computer while holding down the C key to boot from the CD/DVD.
              3. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu; repartition and reformat the internal hard drive.
                  Optionally, click on the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
              4. Install OS X.
              5. Upon completion DO NOT restart the computer.
              6. Shutdown the computer.
         B. Lion and Mountain Lion (if pre-installed on the computer at purchase*)
             Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because
                       it is three times faster than wireless.
              1. Restart the computer while holding down the COMMAND and R keys until the Mac OS X
                  Utilities window appears.
              2. Select Disk Utility from the Mac OS X Utilities window and click on the Continue button.
              3. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click
                  on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
              4. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on the Security button
                  and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
              5. Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
              6. Quit DU and return to the Mac OS X Utilities window.
              7. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
              8. Upon completion shutdown the computer.
    *If your computer came with Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed then you are entitled to transfer your license once. If you purchased Lion or Mountain Lion from the App Store then you cannot transfer your license to another party. In the case of the latter you should install the original version of OS X that came with your computer. You need to repartition the hard drive as well as reformat it; this will assure that the Recovery HD partition is removed. See Step Three above. You may verify these requirements by reviewing your OS X Software License.

  • If I want to fill out estimates and have created a fill and sign form;

    If I want to fill out estimates and have created a fill and sign form; do I have to access formscentral everytime or is there a way to save the fill and sign form that is readable on my tablet?

    The clouds you see next to your music on the device and iCloud are two different things. When your music is not on your device it is in iTunes in the Cloud. Not the same thing as iCloud which is used to sync information between devices and house backups of your device contents. So that little cloud you see next to your songs is telling you that the music is not on your device. That's why it is giving you the message - because when you click on it, it is attempting to download it to your device.
    What may have happened is when you imported your photos to the PC, you may have sync'd your device via iTunes, and you did not have the Sync Music option checked in your device Profile screen.
    Hook up your device to your PC and open iTunes. Make sure the sidebar is showing (Control+S if you cannot see the sidebar with Devices listed), and click on your device to open the Device Profile screens to the right. Click on the Music tab, and make sure that the Sync All Music or Sync Selected Music box is checked. If you have Sync Selected Music checked, then below that, make sure you check all music that you want on your device. Then click on SYNC at the bottom (or APPLY).
    Once you have successfully sync'd your music to your device, you will no longer see the cloud next to the songs, and you also will no longer get a message since you will have the songs physically on your device and not in iTunes in the Cloud.

  • Need to Gray out (disable) 'Accounting' tab in ESO

    Hi Expert,
    I want to gray out 'Accounting' tab in master/sub agreement for non US countries in ESO. I am new to ESO and not getting idea how to do this. Kindly help me out to do this.
    Thanks much for your cooperation.
    Regards,
    Gurvi.

    Hi Gurvi,
    If I am correct then you want the Accounting tab visible but disabled.
    Well, AFAIK you cannot 'grey out' this tab.
    But you can try an alternative approach: You can lock all the fields in this particular tab. In this way, the tab is visible but the fields inside it are non-editable. You 'll have to use IapiDocumentLockManager APIs for this.
    Be aware that this is a resource intensive way. I would suggest you go by the approach suggested above and hide it.
    Thanks

  • How do i find out when a tab was last visited?

    I have just recently started using Firefox, after using Chrome for a long time. It was on my computer, but I never used it before. However, some of my kids use my computer. I stopped using Chrome and just began using Firefox for my browsing and when I open a new tab, the window includes other tabs that have been visited. I see that there is some questionable browsing going on and I want to find out when these websites were visited. When I check the History, I only get for today and yesterday and it doesn't take much to figure out how to browse in private. My question is twofold...first, how did these tabs get there in the first place? And two, is there any way to find out when they were accessed?
    Thanks!

    i'm not entirely sure about the new tab page - in principle it will use an algorithm which populates the slots based on the frequency & the recency of visits. however i think that sites removed from the history should also disappear from the new tab page (when i tried it it was at least true after i've restarted the browser once) - if this isn't happening for you then it might be some bug...
    in any case firefox won't have the proper features to reliably monitor your kids' browsing behaviour - they always can use private browsing mode where no traces will be left on the pc or manually "clean up" the history.
