How to remove Bing toolbar from Firefox

bing_front

I had the most annoying toolbar ever install on my Firefox the other day.  For what ever reason it started displaying adds over websites I was viewing.  Who in their right mind would think this is a good idea?  Does Bill Gates think that we wont notice adds covering up a part of a website we are wanting to view?  Believe it or not, this is something I would expect from Microsoft.

Worst of all there was no obvious way to uninstall this.  It turns out that the app itself is kind of misleading.  Not from Microsoft right…

The simple way to remove this is to go under tools in Firefox, down to Add-ons.

Look through the list of extensions.

Its listed as something like Search Bar 1.0.4 When you click on it for more info, you will see the name Bing. That is your monster.  Uninstall it, and then restart Firefox.  You will have escaped this experience with just a few Bing search engine bumps and scratchs.
