I removed the Bing search engine and saw an article on how to get to defaults on tabs (about:config and from there to browser.newtab.url, but it didn't work).

Delete a possible user.js file in the profile folder.

Also use the searchreset tool.

You may also wish to remove it from the control panel, or using malwarebytes, with a reset of firefox.

Also check for suspicious extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" that might be causing this
