Why have my bookmarks been turned into Bing Searches for those sites? Why do I get a Bing Search when I manually type in the address?
Ever since I installed FireFox 4, I seem to have lost the function of my bookmarks. They simply open up Bing Searches for those sites. I don't even like Bing, why does it keep getting installed into my Firefox?
When I type in the address manually into the address bar (NOT the search bar), I get a Bing Search for the address as well.

I think an add-on has hijacked your browser. If this started with Firefox 4, are you sure you installed the official package from http://www.mozilla.com/ ?
In past threads similar to this, people mentioned a Zugo Search Bar, but I haven't dug into it deeply.
First, make a backup of your Firefox settings for safekeeping: Backing up your information.
Next, try starting Firefox in Firefox Safe Mode. Be careful not to "reset" anything permanently if you didn't back up.
Does running Firefox without add-ons fix it?
If so, you could disable them all and then gradually restore the ones that are most valuable to you.
If not, there might be some external software intercepting Firefox's communications.
Thank you jscher2000. I will look into the links provided. I didn't even know FF had a safemode.
