The above question has been asked a number of times already, and some replies date back 8 months or more. Sadly, whilst the

offers of help are much appreciated, they no longer seems to fix the problem, AFAICS.

My setup details, if it assists: Dell Inspiron N5110 laptop Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2630QM CPU @ 2,00GHz 4.00GB RAM WDC [Western Digital) WD6400BPVT-75HXZT1 5400 6.5GB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M video card Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 64meg onchip GPU Win 7 Home Premium 64bit SP1 Mozilla Firefox v4.0.1

Having bought the above laptop, I am in the process of changing from old to new. During a mass MS update session, Firefox was

impregnated with a 'bing' search box and button [It is perfectly possible that I inadvertantly 'speed clicked' a sneaky 'install me'

button on the way]. Anyhoo, I now have said search box/button and want rid asap. The Firefox help suggests following the

advice in their item entitled 'Removing the Search Helper Extension and Bing Bar', but this shows as out of date. Furthermore, I

have no 'bing' or 'search helper extension' entries in my 'Programs & Features' applet in Control Panel, neither do I have MS

KB982217 installed to uninstall. There are no eponymous entries in Firefox's 'Tools/Addons' menu.

Any ideas, please?

Apologies for the formatting there. No idea what went wrong...
