I don't know why, but everytime I open my browser Bing pops up.
I uninstalled the search engine, I started my browser with the add-ons disabled, and I don't have the DIV add-on so I don't know what to do! But every time I open my browser Bing pops up. However, when I hit my home button, it takes me directly to my homepage (which should have came up first), so I know my homepage didn't get reset.
It also happens when I let my computer sleep, and I re-open it, Bing pops open another tab and its the first thing that opens. I don't know what to do to get rid of it, but it is driving me insane!!! Please help!!

You can check the target line in the Firefox desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties) to make sure that nothing is appended after the path to the Firefox program.
In order to be able to find the correct solution to your problem, we require some more non-personal information from you. Please do the following:
- Click the Firefox button at the top left, then click the Help menu and select Troubleshooting Information from the submenu. If you don't have a Firefox button, click the Help menu at the top and select Troubleshooting Information from the menu.
Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
- At the top of the page, you should see a button that says "Copy text to clipboard". Click it.
