Can I install Firefox without Bing ?
I have been a Firefox user for years, and like most aspects. I don't like Bing anywhere on my computer. I have switched to another browser and am no where near as pleased as with Mozilla. I would like to download but do not want Bing, can it be done. Thank You

You can install any search engine you want and make it your default search engine. https://support.mozilla.org/kb/change-your-default-search-settings-firefox
Bing isn't a "web browser" it's a search engine like Google and Yahoo search. Firefox does come with the Bing search engine, but if you don't like just don't use it.
The default Homepage in Firefox about:home uses the search engine you have set. https://support.mozilla.org/kb/change-your-default-search-settings-firefox
Or you can change your Homepage to something else. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-to-set-the-home-page

Firefox includes search plugins for various sites. You can hide the ones you plan not to use so they don't show up in lists of available search sites. So Bing won't be in your face, and maybe you never plan to search on Twitter from the search bar either...
If you set, say, DuckDuckGo, as your default search engine, but Bing shows up unexpectedly when you search from inside Firefox, it could be a bad add-on.
Note that if you are using the Windows search bar or Cortana, and Firefox is set as your default browser, Windows will send Firefox a Bing URL for the results page. Firefox will redirect these to your default search engine if they are recognized as certain kinds of system searches, but when Microsoft changes the URLs, it takes some time for Firefox to catch up.
Hopefully we have now covered this question from every possible angle.
