Guys, this is not an extension, this is a search addon (an opensearch file) that can be added to the search engines dropdown.

Asa Dotzler, Mozilla's director of community development, used his personal blog to urge Firefox users away from Google and to use Microsoft's search engine Bing, instead. Dotzler cited privacy concerns, specifically pointing to comments recently made by Google CEO Eric Schmidt.
"I think judgment matters," said Schmidt. "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place." Dotzler then links to the Bing add-on for Firefox, stating that Bing's privacy policy is better than Google's.

What's the point of installing an addon for Bing or any other search engine. Just add Bing to the list of search engines from the Mycroft Project: http://mycroft.mozdev.org/search-engines.html?name=bing

Netsphere wanderer, I have only tried Bing a couple times and just really have no reason to stop using Google, but I just tried searching for "html standard" and the results certainly appear to be correct to me. I can't open the pic you attached, but the top ten results for me are:
W3C HTML Home Page..... www.w3.org/MarkUp
HTML 4.01 Specification..... www.w3.org/TR/html4
HTML - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia..... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML
HTML 4 Reference..... htmlhelp.com/reference/html40
HTML / XHTML Standard Attributes..... www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_standardattributes.asp
HTML5..... dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html
HTML 4.0 Standard attributes..... www.w3schools.com/html/html_standardattributes.asp
The Standard | Participating Provider Organizations..... www.standard.com/services/ppo_providers.html
Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard..... help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/8.0/Standard/index.html
HTML Standards..... www.nevadadot.com/webstandard/html
No, I'm not trying to argue with you or anyone else, or trying to take sides. I'm simply trying to state the facts. For all I know, this may have just been updated today, but I want to point out that it seems to work at the time of this comment. Incidentally, I tried it on Google and the top five results are almost identical.
Don't worry, I still will use Google for all my searching needs.

Taomyn, you shouldn't tell LIES. Bing search is pretty pathetic, search html standard on bing (not enough important to make a verve of it yet):

Now, if pure incorrelated advertising is useful for you, that's another matter. But the rest of us prefer relevant results;-)
The addon itself is pretty cool by the way.

Not used this for long, but seems to work. However, the reviewer that stated searching for "html standard" under bing didn't fetch any useful results, was talking garbage. It does for me and probably everyone else.

Google gives me tons of relevant links. Bing gives me in most cases only one relevant link - the wikipedia article.
Only one example: Try searching for "html standard" in google and in Bing. In google you will be taken to the W3C page with the current HTML standard. You also see lots of other correct results related to the HTML-Standard specifications.
In Bing you won't find the real HTML-Standard but lots of links for buying a Standard-Credit card and other rubbish. The fourth result is "WCAG, HTML, and CSS: Maybe the Standards Need a Break". Hahaha - FAIL!
If you search for advertising, ring-tones and so on you will be probably fine with bing.

This looks nice - but it messes around and biasses results. Search for something about Microsoft, and it finds articles slagging off other companies.
Evil.

No hate for google, but Bing is pretty impressive. We don't need 9.6 millions search results. We need results RELEVENT to our search query, and when it comes to that, you won't be dissappointed with Bing. Even if you search the most rare query that microsoft doesn't have in it's database, there's always Google.
Five stars...great job Microsoft :)

A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS!!!
Anything better out there to scan hundreds of pictures in a few minutes? Love the way they all load on one page. The travel section and shopping are great too! Cashback? Yes please.

Best search engine for doing post graduate research. As an MBA student, I have found Bing to be the premier search engine meeting my research needs. I told a colleague this morning the difference between undergraduate work and post graduate work is the amount of research required for various assignments. I recently completed my sixth MBA course. With the other courses I used various search engines and was constantly frustrated. For my most recent class, Marketing Management, I used Bing exclusively. Rarely did I go into page 2 of the search results and most often found what I was looking for within the first four recommended sites. Bing is better than Google, Yahoo, Ask or any other comparable site.

It's genuine. See the Microsoft Search blog where they take credit for it: http://www.bing.com/community/blogs/search/archive/2009/06/11/bing-and-your-browser.aspx?PageIndex=3

I checked this app out with Microsoft, they said that this is a bogus app it is not an authentic Microsoft search app. Also it has been modified to collect your search information, your IP address, your location, and your ISP. They told me not to use it. The safest way to use Bing is go to https://bing.com
I am curious who you checked with in Microsoft. Just Bing the names of the authors or look at the official Bing blog (http://www.bing.com/community/blogs/search/archive/2009/06/11/bing-and-your-browser.aspx)

Bing is pretty good for its search results and both Google and Bing are worth keeping in your browser. Yahoo started it Google continue and rewrote the book on a search engine and Microsoft refine that rule book and keeps making it better. Keep it up Microsoft!
