Google is my default search engine. But for whatever reason, whenever I search a site in the address bar, the first 3-10 possible solutions appear next to a magnifying glass, and when I click them, they are automatically searched through bing. Even google. I do not like bing and do not want to use it; I have tried everything I can find to get rid of this problem, but nothing is working. I installed an add-on so that when I open a new tab, the page is my homepage, which is google. I tried the about:config way to get rid of bing from the address bar but it did not work. It is extremely aggravating and annoying to have everything, even google, pop up in bing searches. Does anyone know what is going on?
