Go to options and set your homepage to something else. If that's not it, try looking for an addon. If it's an addon, it'll probably be called Bing Bar, and probably came as a software bundle.

I hate Bing, hate Microsoft and I don't want any Microsoft products on my computer. I'm pretty annoyed to find that it is not easy to remove in Firefox 34.0.

I've searched for 'bing' in the about:config. It appears in browser.search.hiddenOneOffs when it's deselected in the list of search engines. So I want it to stay there until I delete it for good.

It also appears in browser.search.order.3 at the moment.

I have no Add-Ons with Bing in the name and my homepage is certainly NOT set to Bing.com.

you can't delete it. you have to "modify" and first, you have to find it.

if this doesn't work, moxilla and i are parting after years. even IE knows better than to pull a stunt like this on customers.

shame on you shame on you. like that thing with forcig us to giv up pd files.
