actually all the searches were changed to bing. and i found a solution -about:config- and used this info to change the search in address bar.. However.. my right click - highlight and search.. - is still defaulted to bing.<<<<HATE THIS>>> and bing is also still in the drop down search in the upper Rt search bar. I thought it would remove it when i used the "about config" but it is still there.

I had reciently updated the security and wonder if one of the auto updates.. hijacked my searches.. Plz help before i shoot it.. ; )

Manage search engines in Search Bar:

The right-click search defaults to the currently selected search engine showing in the Search Bar.


Update Shockwave Flash (Adobe Flash). There is a new version.

You may need to reset more prefs on the about:config page. You can do a search for bing via the Filter bar.
