when I went to the add-ons manager nothing was there except for google translate

I still have the problem

Ran a malware scan and isolated 15 possible threats but that didn't work either

I had installed a Logitech webcam software so uninstalled but that didn't do it either

Hi, that I believe is by design I think during beta for version 1803 of Win10 it was talked about. But if you're Default browser is set for Firefox it should not.

Not seen this before but this is the closest answer can get. Substitute Chrome with Firefox : https://www.howtogeek.com/226638/make-the-windows-10-start-menu-and-cortana-search-google-instead-of-bing/

actually the edge deflector sends me to Firefox which is great

I still end up with Bing as the search engine and that I will work on tomorrow

How dare microsoft highjack my computer!

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.

You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

• Microsoft Safety Scanner
• MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
• Anti-Rootkit Utility - TDSSKiller (for more info, see this alternate TDSSKiller download page)
• AdwCleaner (for more info, see this alternate AdwCleaner download page)
• Hitman Pro
• ESET Online Scanner

Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista if you don't already have one. Windows 8/10 have antivirus protection built-in.

Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.

I ran a malware and 2 pups were removed. However, I cannot get rid of edge...I used the Edge deflector and that works but everyday when I turn on th epc, I have to reset the default to Firefox and the mail to Outlook....Never did get rid of Bing

This is a strange issue. I think that you may have better luck asking Microsoft support, since it doesn't sound like a Firefox-related issue.
