Recently, Mozilla has announced its plans to include Bing as additional search engine for Firefox 4 (US version) web browser.
“Bing itself offers a user experience that we think users will find valuable, and with its significant rise in popularity over the last year, we will also be including Bing as a general search option for English language users,” company officials said.
