How to Remove Bing as Your Default Firefox Search Engine

The Firefox location bar also serves as a search bar, using the keywords that you type to help you find the website you're looking for. If the entered text isn't a valid URL, Firefox searches for a URL related to your terms. Firefox's default search service is Google's Browse by Name, but you're free to change it. Sometimes, though, you may install software or a toolbar that changes the Firefox keyword search to a service like Bing and want to change it back.
