Everytime i have downloaded firefox, ebay is in search column. If i go ahead and type a desired address in search such as cement it carries me to items related to cement for sale on ebay site. No matter what, firefox carries me to ebay. Where does this contaminant come from and how do I get rid of it?

Hi Bobazane8,

Firefox has the search engine selected as eBay. You can't get rid of it, but you can select a different search engine such as Google or Yahoo so if you want to search for that term, it'll pull it up on the search engine of your choice.

Simpy click the eBay logo next to the search field and select your choice. See image below to see what I am talking about.

Hello,

You cannot remove ebay.com from the search column, however you can select another search engine from the drop down list e.g. Google or Bing. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/search-bar-add-change-manage-search-engines-firefox

Hope this helps
