I can't get rid of "bing" from opening in new tabs. How can I get a blank page to open as in the past?

Up until yesterday, I could open a new tab with a blank page. Now, every new tab opens to a bing search page and focus is in the search box. Very annoying when I begin to type a URL and have to click in the URL to continue typing. How do I get back to a blank page opening?

In the menu in Firefox, go to Tools, then Add-ons. Make sure you are under the extension label. Right click on any form of "StartNow Toolbar" and disable.

Thanks. You did have to go through another step-"Extensions", to find the Icon for the StartNow Toolbar with Bing involved.

Yep tried it and it got rid of Bing!! Happy Happy
