Bing attaches itself when I click on my Firefox icon. I do not want to use Bing at all.

Hi

1. Check Your Home Page and New Windows

Go to Menu > Settings > Home

Look at Homepage and new windows. If it’s set to "Custom URLs" and shows a Bing link, change it to your preferred site.

2. Update Your Default Search Engine

In the Settings, click on Search.

Under Default Search Engine, use the dropdown menu to select Google, DuckDuckGo, or your favorite non-Bing option.

3. Inspect Your Extensions

Type about:addons into your address bar.

Look for anything you don't recognize or anything related to "Bing"

Disable or Remove any suspicious extensions.
