How do I disable the Bing search preview in Firefox?
How do I disable the Bing search preview feature? This feature is similar to the Google search page preview feature for which I have found remedy.

That's a setting in Bing, not Firefox. When you go to www.bing.com:
- In the top-right corner, click on Preferences
- Along the left side, select Web.
- Uncheck Turn suggestions on.
Thanks. I have that unchecked. I'm speaking of when you slide the cursor to the right of a search "hit", an arrow appears along with a bit more detailed text box of the corresponding hit. Seems like the google version was disabled in the [about:config] settings.
That's also a Bing feature. As far as I can tell, there is no setting to disable it, but that's something that the folks at Bing would be better equipped to answer.
I don't know of any Firefox extensions that will disable it either.
Thanks again. I earlier found a way to disable it using the add-on Search Helper Extension 1.0. However, though I have had it for a period of time, it has been blocked. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/blocked/i16
As a workaround, you could try http://duckduckgo.com/ :)
- D That's what I use now. I like it pretty well. No frills, not as robust but ok.
