    Oh man I am sooooo frustrated! I have a Dell Insipiron windows 11 64bit. 16 gigs memory. I like firefox for its certain features, Anyway for some crazy reason google is locked into being my search bar when I do not want it to be my search bar, I canged it in setting it still stay on google. I even removed and deleted the google search bar in settings and it still is the search bar. I HATE GOOGLE! Anyway I uninstalled firefox and cleared out files and it still comes back as google in the search bar. Google is a nightmare and I want it completely off my firefox. I would appreciate the help

    Thanks!!

    In Firefox, click + to open a new tab. In the list of Apps mid page find the Google icon and click the ... at the top right and then click unpin.
