How to Remove Search Sites From the Search Bar in Firefox

The search bar on the top right corner of the Firefox Web browser contains a list of search engines, and you can use this field to perform a Web search without visiting the individual search engine pages. Firefox's default search bar includes sites such as Yahoo!, Google, Amazon.com and Wikipedia, but you can search Mozilla's add-ons page for additional search sites or add some sites manually as you browse. The search bar has a search engine manager that lets you change the order of search engines in the list and remove websites that you don't use.

Instructions

1. Click the arrow on the left side of the search bar to open the drop-down menu.

2. Click "Manage Search Engines."

3. Click the name of a search engine that you want to remove from the list.

4. Click "Remove."

5. Click "OK."

Tips & Warnings

• Click "Restore Defaults" in the search engine manager to replace deleted default search sites.
