I want google as my search engine, not Bing. How do I make Google the default search engine in the "Search the Web" feature of the search bar; or, how do I remove the "Search the Web" feature of the search bar so that "Google" can be default?
I want google as my search engine, not Bing. But no matter what I do in "Manage Search Engines," Firefox seems to reset to "Search the Web," which uses Bing.
How do I make Google the default search engine in the "Search the Web" feature of the search bar; or, how do I remove the "Search the Web" feature of the search bar so that "Google" can be default? When I move "Search the Web" down and "Google" up, the search bar resets every time Firefox reloads.

Just move Google up to the top of the search drop-down
- click on the search bar drop-downattached tot he the favicon on thesearchbar
- go down to the bottom and choose "Manage Engines"
- move "Google up to the top"
I have the same problem. I tried that. As far as I can tell, it resets every time that I restart Firefox.
I discovered the culprit: the search results add-on. When I removed that, the "Manage Engines" change that I made stuck.
So how do I do that?
Sometime Bing is not located in the Add/Remove programs section of the control panel.
