I now have the Orange Bing search box on my upper right toolbar, due to having downloaded Freecorder which unsolicitedly hijacked my Google searchbox, replacing it with Bing which I do not want.

I already followed the steps stated in eHow (see below link), but that did not work for me, despite having copy/pasted the commands listed in the eHow instructions. (btw, i omitted the quotation marks from the copy/paste, of course) (see: http://www.ehow.com/how_5196325_remove-firefox-work-way-used.html

Any surefire way to reinstate the Google searchbox on upper right?

Thanks.

You can always try clicking on the drop down menu and selecting Google... :-D

And after you followed the eHow tut, is your keywordurl looking like the image I have shown...

If you are still getting the problem.. you can try inputting http://www.google.com in the value...

And if the above is still not working... try this...

Type browser.search.defaultenginename in the filter bar, right click select Modify and Google

Problem solved... :-)

thanks!

my mistake had been that I had tried right clicking the Orange Icon rather than left clicking.

Now that i've left-clicked - it worked. How dumb can i get?

P.S. while on the subject of toolbars, is there any way that FF can enable me to RIGHT-CLICK YouTube on my bold textlinks barbold text whereupon one of the drop-down options would state "enable UTube searchbox to display"
