If you installed any of Microsoft products such as Messager, you must beware !!! because Microsoft force their Bing Search Engine to replace your default Firefox addressbar to their Bing search Engine

Previously, whenever I type some keyword in Firefox addressbar and press enter, search engine used is Google search engine. But after doing some stupid Microsoft software download, whenever I type keywords in Firefox addressbar and press enter, search engine used has changed to Microsoft’s Bing search Engine !

Goshh !!! I never recalled changing it so I did a search and found the following solution…. But don’t worry, just follow this tips to remove Bing search engine from your Firefox addressbar

Type about:config in Firefox addressbar and search for “keyword.”

Change Bing to Google

Make sure that keyword.enabled is set to ‘true.’ Right click on keyword.url which if you noticed above have been set to http://search.live.com (what a s**t !).

To remove this hijacked value, as mentioned above, right click on keyword.url and choose ‘modify’

Modify Bing

Copy and paste – http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q= to restore it back to Google. Close window and restart
