I have set Firefox as my default homepage and browser, however whenever I do a search or try to go to a website, Firefox starts to load it and then the screen flickers for a millisecond and then Bing takes over - Firefox no longer appears and the Bing logo is in the upper left hand corner. How do I stop Bing from taking over?

Start Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or if userChrome.css/userContent.css is causing the problem.

  • switch to the Default System theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Troubleshoot Mode start window

You can do a malware scan just to be sure.

Also what Extensions do you have installed in Firefox?
