How do I remove search providers on firefox ?

By a.medlin - May. 08, 2008

So, firefox's default search providers list has 7 providers - Google, Yahoo, Answers.com, Wikipedia, eBay, Amazon and Creative Commons. I would like to remove a few. How do I do that?

    If you are using Firefox 2.0...

    Then follow these steps:

    1. Click on the search dropdown list button in the toolbar

    2. Click "Manage Search Engines" option

    3. Select the search engine in the "Search Engine Management List" Window

    4. Click "Remove"

    5. Click OK to close the window.


    The search engine will have been removed from the list now.


    Please let me know if this worked for you.

    Doh! I was looking under preferences, and would always access the drop-downs with they keyboard shortcut (command-K) and then (command - up/down)!


    Perfect! Thanks!!
