For no more than an hour or two, I had downloaded and used a program called Free YouTube Downloader. The only caviat was that I had to accept Bing as my default search engine, etc. It was easy to switch back to Google (my preference). However, now whenever I open my e-mails (in the usual standard version) the content of the e-mail flashes for a moment and is then replaced by the Bing search bar (only). This is only happening in the standard version through Firefox--not Internet Explorer (which I no longer use...and don't want to simply to read my e-mail). Thanks.
