Bing Nuisance !
26 Answers
Following my recent upgrade to W10 I seem to have picked up Bing as a search engine whilst adding some old favourites. I've checked YouTube and tried a few suggestions and even when I delete Bing from my search engine options and checked/ selected Google, then retarted the pc, up pops Bing search page again. Most annoying !
Any help out there, please ?
Cheers.

Thanks everyone but Bing is still unmoved !
I've followed all instructions in the link provided by Jimf and cleared Bing from the list of search engines but it's still full screen when I restart the pc and log on using the Firefox logo.
Do you think a Firefox uninstall and clean re- install would help ?
Remember I'm not all that computer savvy.
Cheers.

Hmm. Varying replies. I am more than happy with Bing. I am a Google free zone because I detest their politicising the web and using it to manipulate opinion. Has anyone noticed the trouble that I encounter finding things using Bing? Thought not. Just a word to the wise Derek. I see that you are already being encouraged to load up your lappie with new and exciting apps and extensions. Don't. Glad you got 10 loaded and I would have advised you to load up the new Edge Beta browser( Edge came with W10) and to wait and see before potentially overloading the lappie with background activity. Particularly bolt on "security" programmes that will bring it to a halt. Use defender and just install Trusteer Endpoint that runs unobtrusively alongside Defender and is an added layer of protection for monetary transactions. Have you switched on the "syncing" facility and imported all your old bookmarks/favourites?
Different opinion on Trusteer Rapport here,

In Firefox go to Options/Settings/Search scroll further down to 'one click Search Engines' highlight Bing and remove it.
I use Bing as well because you get some links different to Google. Use Google the most because I like it.

Derek... Click on the windows icon bottom left of screen in the task bar. Then click on the little cog that says settings when you hover the cursor.
Then click on Accounts. (good idea to have a gentle look around in here to set any preferences etc. You will even see your email settings in there)
Then in accounts at the bottom of the menu you should see "sync your settings" Turn on what is appropriate to you in there.
Just a gentle hint Derek..... you should really have been having a look around in the settings before launching yourself into a whole sett of downloads. I know that w10 came with a series of tips and hints on using the new operating system but you are like most of us, we refuse to read the instructions. Haha.
