Hi, when you first start Firefox, three possible things can occur:

(1) Firefox shows your home page

This also is the page that appears in a new window (Ctrl+n). To check on and/or change your home page, try the steps in this article: How to set the home page.

Sometimes an add-on takes over setting your home page. Firefox should have a note about that on the Options page in that case.

(2) Restore your previous session open windows and tabs

Probably this is not what is happening if you never use Bing.

(3) Load a page specified in your Firefox shortcut

Desktop shortcuts can be modified with a URL so that a browser loads that page every time you use the shortcut. This is not common unless you've had malware on your computer. If you want to check on that, either:

  • Right-click a Firefox desktop shortcut, then click Properties
  • Right-click a Firefox icon pinned to the Taskbar, then right-click Mozilla Firefox, then click Properties

Windows should show the Shortcut tab and select the Target field. The Target usually is along the following lines:

  • "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
  • "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"

If there is anything extra after that which you did not put there, you can remove it.

Was the problem one of those things?
