Remove Bing as your default search engine in the address bar in Firefox

Firefox is my favorite browser, i use it a lot for searching using the address bar, i would just type what i am looking for and i would get the results using Google Search,

Firefox uses Google as the default search engine. But recently, this changed, instead of Google search, i get Bing, the new(just the name) search engine from Microsoft.

If you are in the same scenario as me, let me show you how to change or remove Bing as the default search engine in the address bar.

Here's how. I am using quotes just for highlighting.

Open Firefox, in the address bar, type "about:config", if it does not work, add a space(push the Space Bar) after config "about:config ", then hit enter.

Create a region and use it to place a banner - Using the Zen classic theme

I will show you how to create a header region and use it to place a banner or add any content to it. We will use the Zen Classic theme in this tutorial.

Open the zen_classic.info file and add this at the begging or at the end of your Regions section. Note that the name of the region we are using is headertwo, you can name it whatever you like, no spaces underscore and uppercase are fine:

regions[headertwo] = header two

Now open your zen-classic.css style sheet and add the next CSS to the very end of it, the CSS will hold the region we are creating:

The next time the person posts something, it is filtered and goes to the 'Posted Items tab' - You decide when to see all the posts.
