Help me get Bing off my computer!

Put your cursor up at the top of the page. Right click. You should see several things with check marks next to them. Remove the check mark from anything you don't want up there.
I am running Firefox 30.0 on Windows 7 but don't think there is a difference. Hope this helps!

Thank You! That did the trick.

This is the perfect example of how an answer helps many people on this forum.

I have had Bing "infest" my computer before and always went through a reset to an earlier date which is a long process.

Barney's answer is much, much ,much easier!!

Thanks.

I was going to add to Barneys comment the top of the FIREFOX page but you found it ok...

Seems like every time I download something of interest things get added to my page somewhere...

Sure is nice to have a knowledgeable source come to the rescue. As others have mentioned, Barney's answer has and will help many others.

i'll have to try it too. No matter what I do I can't seem to get rid of Bing.

Recently, Chrome has put in code to disallow all Web browser add-ons that don't come from the Google web store, just because of stuff like this.

Keep in mind that my suggestion does not remove Bing from your computer. It just hides it so you cannot see it. :C

I have no idea if it is possible to actually remove it completely from the computer.

You should "Google" "Get Bing off my computer". You will find the Microsoft folks bashing the poster for not explaining what he wants, failing to explain how to do it (if it can even be done) and blaming the poster for wanting the information. At no point (that I could find) did anyone from Microsoft actually address the issue of how to do it. Some other posters explained ways to modify the registry but the MS folks did nothing more than a tap dance to avoid having to answer the question.
I use MS and I like it but it's disappointing to see them act like such babies when a direct answer would have given them a bit of credibility.

It appears the Bing Toolbar is only available for IE. So if you picked it up in Firefox, it's not actually an MS product, and hidden within another extension.

You may want to follow the instructions here.
