How do we get rid of this damn Bing

Firefox Tab basics

I tried all suggestions and finally uninstalled it and reinstalled it from the Mozilla Site. This is definitely downloading from Mozilla, and I do not understand why. How can I really get rid of it and/or can Mozilla register a complaint with Bing? I don't know but it is annoying as all hell. I really dislike Bing.

Hello,

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.

To Reset Firefox do the following:

  1. Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
  2. Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
  3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
  4. Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.

Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

Thank you.

FINALLY!

I had to redo all my add-ons but it was worth it. Thanks. Can I set all new tabs for Google?

"Can I set all new tabs for Google?"

Could you explain what you are wanting to do?

I used to have the Google search page come up with all new tabs. It's not a big deal considering you got rid of that damn Bing for me. Now, watch. I'll start getting the more annoying Babylon. (lol - I hope I just didn't put the whammy on myself)
