OT - BING HAS TAKEN OVER MY SEARCH ENGINE

Hi all, Whenever I open FireFox, the Bing search engine shows up. Clicking on Google doesn't change this. Anyone else had this happen to them? TIA, Joe Wilkins ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to

In the left part of the search field is a drop down menu, that I guess currently says Bing for you. You can change that back to Google. On Mar 14, 2012, at 9:56 AM, Joe Lewis Wilkins wrote: Whenever I open FireFox, the Bing search engine shows up. Clicking on Google doesn't change this.

Thanks Colin, but I can't find it. Too small and/or blurred I guess. Doesn't happen when I switch over to Safari. Joe Wilkins On Mar 14, 2012, at 7:40 AM, Colin Holgate wrote: In the left part of the search field is a drop down menu, that I guess currently says Bing for you. You can change

Thanks Fellas, Even after removing Bing and restarting and Quitting/starting, Bing still showed up as the active search engine. I don't trust them at all now. VERY insidious! Guess I'll just use Safari now. Seems as if it's a little better than it was a couple of months ago. Joe Wilkins On

Always remember, when in doubt, don't pause for thought, or accept responsibility for one's own actions, just blame Microsoft as an instinctive, knee-jerk reaction. However, despite my urge to do that, everything with Mozilla seems very straightforward indeed:

I give up. Too much to read and too small. Zooming just makes it worse. I suspect I will be totally blind or everything will be screwed up before too very long. (sigh!) Someone needs to do an app that uses a white cane to navigate the net. Eyes and fingers just don't cut it any more. Everything

Do you have the latest version of firefox? I have, it says version 11. On this version (mine), on the left of the search toolbar, there should be the icon for your current search engine (it should look like a with b on an orange background if you have Bing) Click on this very icon and you

François, I do have version 11. But something is definitely screwed up with the pop-up option button you guys have suggested might fix things. For one thing, I have trouble even finding the toolbar. Way too small; When I finally did get something to pop-up, it had the word Search repeated

Speaking of that version, it has a very neat 3D view of the page, if you're doing Inspect Element. You can rotate the view so that it's easy to see the layering of the page elements. On Mar 14, 2012, at 5:32 PM, François Chaplais wrote: Do you have the latest version of firefox? I have, it
