Bing has hijacked my awesome bar even though I have deleted Bing in my Control Panel... Any suggestions on how to return my awesome to the default?

See if the value of this pref was changed to Bing. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Keyword.url
I have the same problem, but the keyword.URL value pointed to google, and I haven't found any malware or spyware. So I downloaded the Redirector plug-in and wrote this rule for it:
Example pattern: http://www.bing.com/search?q="TEST"&form=MSSRPD (make sure that you get a similar pattern when bing performs its search)
Include pattern: http://www.bing.com/search?q=*&form=MSSRPD (the * is the search string)
redirect to: http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=$1 ($1 is the search string extracted from the include pattern)
pattern type: wildcard
It'll do for now. But I'm mighty curious as to what caused this.
this bing thing is annoying me. it looks bad on my homepage, how do i delete it
