Bing seems to show up automatically and as the only option for a search engine and in new pages and tabs. How do I remove or disable it and put Google back in place instead?
I have added an extension and the fonts are crowded and almost not legible. What can I change? Before my computer was wiped clean, I did not have this issue.
Please refer to image, nothing else is showing up this way.

I've had a problem on a particular page on my website that has resisted all attempts at analysis and fixing for years: the page renders in Western font in my FF browser (in all my PCs), whilst in a colleague's browser (from another country) it renders fine in Unicode. It also renders fine in Unicode on my PC when using Chrome, and Edge, and Opera. Only Firefox is a problem.
I would be happy if I could just tell FF to render every single page I ever visit in Unicode by default. But I have go to View > Text Encoding > Unicode every single time I visit this page.
For info, I'll paste everything in the page before the <body> tag:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <title>xxx</title> <base href="https://www.xxx.com/templates/en/admin/Gross_Profit_Reports.html"></base> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/reset.css?revision=1794" type="text/css" /> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/text.css?revision=1794" type="text/css" /> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css?revision=1794" type="text/css" /> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="https://www.xxx.com/templates/en/images/favicon.gif" /> <script src="../js/jquery-1.9.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="../js/jquery.stickytableheaders.min.js"type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> <script src="../js/sspextras.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="../js/common.js"></script> <meta charset="utf-8"></head>
Although we use <meta charset="utf-8"> now, we've previously had it as <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">, but that has been similarly unsuccessful.
I'm happy to make changes on the browser side in the webpage, but I really want to solve this. Grateful for any help.

On my personal laptop, I have the Multi-Account Containers extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/) running smoothly. I'm currently on a public desktop computer , and I enabled Firefox Sync, which did a good job for passwords, bookmarks, etc, but it didn't sync any of my container info for the Multi-Account Containers add-on. I see the default containers: Personal, Work, Bank, Shopping. On my personal laptop, I have about a dozen containers. What's wrong?

Every time I open a new website, no matter if I have other/older tabs going , and when I start a New Tab, I want all new tabs when open to stay LEFT and NOT slide to the right each time I open a new tab. Essentially I want the new tab to do the opposite of what does now by default. Any fix or extension/app for this? Thanks for your help.

Recently got new computer running Win 10. I find that Firefox seems to offer ONLY the option of blank page upon opening new window AND blank page for home page.

I am trying to remove the some default search engines from Firefox. I can remove them in settings yet if I type @ then a number of search engines I don't want including Bing Google and Amazon are still there. I think I have found the json that makes them visible:
resource://search-extensions/list.json
Which contains:
"default": {
"searchDefault": "Google",
"searchOrder": ["Google", "Bing"],
"visibleDefaultEngines": [
"google", "amazondotcom", "bing", "ddg", "ebay", "twitter", "wikipedia"
]
}
Is this file in my profile? Can it be edited to remove the @keyword searches. If not, is there another way to get rid of them?
I visit a number of sites where people, from time to time, link to specific tweets by various people. Currently these are blocked. How do I unblock this.

When I'm visiting a site, one of the other people will provide a link to a twitter comment by someone else - best example a twitter from the President. These likes don't show up at all on my screen. They used to until foxfire's last so-called upgrade. I've had advice to go to the drop down menu and do a number of things. Sooooo. Where is this drop down menu located? Please, it's frustrating getting only half the conversation.

How can I change how the back button behaves? Right now, it takes at least two clicks in quick succession on the button to get the browser to return to the previous page. It used to be that I only had to click once. I tried to find a setting for this in the Options and Customize menus but could not. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me figure this out.

Last week Adobe Flash stopped actuating/working with Firefox and there is no black box in the address bar or any place else that I see that asks me to activate it. I have it set as Always Activate on the Plug-Ins page but that isn't helping. I checked and have the most recent version. I had to go through several steps to activate it but it does work in Chrome. I run Win 7 and Firefox is my default browser. Please advise how I can get Flash to work again as it is hampering a lot of my activity on the web. Thank you.

i am trying to make room for a new site on the new tab page. i have supposedly cleared my history, but sites keep showing up and all the spaces in all four rows are taken up. i have clicked on "remove from history" for the sites that endlessly pop up. finally got a clear space--after manually deleting every site that came up--note--some would not delete. i find this curios. alas, the site i am trying to add via "three dots: add site" is not working. so, how do i actually delete more than 24 hours of browsing history? i can pull up the list of sites, but see no option to delete them. and, when you tell me how, is it possible to delete everything except what i have bookmarked/pinned to new tab? and why can i not add a site when there is now an empty space? really confused by this--but actually not as confused as to how long it took me to actually find how to ask a question. i am literally exhausted. thank you.

Firefox says at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-update-add-ons, "Check for Updates: Allows you to check for any updates to your add-ons manually. If there is an update available, you have the option to choose to update it now or later." I don't see that option. I can install all updates now or not. How can I install selectively? And (since Firefox does not seem to reveal the versions of the add-ons I'm using), how can I be sure whether a particular add-on I'm using is already up-to-date?

Yesterday, my New Tab page that's usually set with three rows and five columns of Top Sites suddenly had seven columns instead. This happened suddenly in the middle of the day, while I was using Firefox. I've restarted FF, and restarted my PC. I've tried the about:config browser.newtabpage.columns variable that I've seen posted in various places as a fix, but that variable doesn't exist any longer. I've tried this fix: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1242653, and it didn't do anything at all.
How do I change it back to five columns like it was before?
Edit: Well, it's actually eight columns now, and it was six before the change. Apparently I can't even count to six and eight! The fact remains that it's suddenly different for no apparent reason, and I'd like to figure out how to change it back.
