I would like to get rid of the Bing searchbar which seemed to popup a while ago.
I have tried various methods with no success.

Thanks
Jack
 

Solution
Success at last.
It was that simple I went into Tools>Add-ons
There was the MSN Toolbar listed, clicked Disable
Restarted Firefox no Bing!

Sorry regarding screenshot, I have tried without success to do one.
I have tried using Prt Scr to copy it but been unable to paste it.

Are you talking about the search bar in IE8?

I got annoyed with that also. This is what finally worked for me.
Click the coloured icon in the Bing search bar.
Click one of the other search offers there. (Google is the obvious choice)
Click again and select "manage search engines"
Delete Bing.

No joy for me, I clicked the orange icon in the Bing search bar and this is what came up (excuse the size)
No mention of google
