Default Search Engine not Staying on Google
I set my default engine to Google. It clearly shows Google on the setting. However, every time I do a search Firefox uses Bing. Thanks for your help.

You can check for recently installed suspicious or unknown extensions.
If clearing the "Restore Default Search Engines" on the "Settings -> Search" page doesn't work, try to rename/remove search.json.mozlz4 in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed to rebuild the search engines registry.
You can use the button on the "Help -> More Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page (Root directory).

Windows: Open Folder; Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data
The default Google search engine should have an icon but it is missing in your screenshot which suggests it could be an imposter.
