I do NOT want Bing as my default engine AT ALL. I keep following your instructions to remove it under Search Options, and it still won't go away. This is SO annoying, and began after one of your "updates." PLEASE MAKE IT STOP. i want to search with GOOGLE ONLY.

hi rtowlen, no genuine firefox update makes bing the default search engine. this rather sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware on your pc.

  1. please go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > extensions & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc).
  2. also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there.
  3. finally, run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner, which are specialised in adware and browser hijackers.

Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page
