Firefox makes it very easy to add engines to the bar, but how do I remove useless engines that I never plan to use?

I even searched the Windows registry, but I couldn't find any key related to "eBay" or "Answers.com".

Does anyone have any idea how to do it?

browse to your firefox dir, go to teh search plugin folder, delete the picture and .src file relating to the search engine you want to delete. Then restart firefox and viola.

Thanks, rs6. I did what you said and it worked like a charm.

I hate it when browsers load up tons of default websites that I don't want.
