Sidebar, related searches, how do I remove it please?

I can see that others are having similar problems, I've tried suggested solutions none of which works.
I am using a laptop, running Windows 7 and want to use Mozilla but that sidebar is an absolute pain.
Is there some safe way of permanently removing it please? I don't want it, it isn't helpful, is simply an annoyance that I can do without in a busy day's work.
If it cannot be removed I'll have to look at different browsers I'm afraid as I can't be doing with having to close it EVERY TIME I open a new page

You can check for recently installed suspicious or unknown extensions.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> 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

How can I remove the "Please connect to the internet and retry" error when I start Acrobat DC in my laptop?

I started Acrobat DC in my laptop, it said, "Please connect to the internet and retry." I did have internet connection as I could browse the net. So I checked out the internet time and it is synchronized with time.windows.com.
Do I need to set it to synchronize to time.nist.gov?

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.

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 get rid of "Related Searches"?

Good Morning,
When using IE 10 c column opens up showing some supposedly related searches. How do I prevent this column from coming up? I find it annoying, obtrusive and useless.
Thanks!

eric99,
As a follow up, one of our gurus made a suggestion...
Perhaps the sidebar is installed by a downloaded malware browser hijack?

I just discovered that Baudi has been added to my safari search options and I don't want it. How do I remove it?

I want to remove BAIDU from my Safari browser search engine choices. I read to go to "applications" select "toolbars" and select "uninstall Baidu" . The problem is "toolbars" is not on my list of "applications". How do I remove Baidu? I don't know how it got there. My niece sent me an email partially in Chinese and perhaps it was installed when I opened it, Thanks for any help.

There is amazingly little on the web about this unwanted software regarding Safari. Also just noticed I repeated the same nonsense removal instructions you found. Sorry for being a parrot.
Couple of things to try.
1) Close Safari. Open the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ folder. Press Command+2 to change it to List view, then click Date Modified to sort them by time/date. Newest date should be at the top. If there's anything there with a date of just the past of couple of days, move it to the desktop. Launch Safari. Is it gone?
2) There are actually three folders named Internet Plug-Ins. Check the ones in the System folder, and in your user account Library folder. Again, looking for anything added just recently.
I saw the same page Linc posted to, but it didn't dawn on me at the time what the relation may be. Open the System Preferences and click on the Language & Region icon. If you see any Asian languages in the list as shown below. Highlight it and press the minus button to remove it.

I just installed Firefox 5. How can I remove the Bing search from the address bar? I don't want to see Bing at all.

I just installed Firefox 5. How can I remove the Bing search from the address bar. I don't want to see Bing at all. I tired the Firefox options, right-clicking on the search field and the toolbar selection drop-down but could not find a way to get rid of that unwanted search window.

*'''at the bottom of firefox''' there is a weird looking greenish circle with a lightning bolt in it*
1. click it and hover over to '''PREFERENCES'''.
2. click the second circle that say's '''BING.'''
3. '''Un-check''' both boxes.
4. you're done :)
Note: it's not going to show the google symbol encrypt when you open a new tab it's just going to automatically use google as a search engine.

Try holding down the Command key and dragging the file well off the sidebar.
Hope this helps.
