Are you talking about having Google as your home page?
Type about:preferences#general<enter> in the address bar.
There are two settings;
- When Firefox Starts
When the browser is started, what do you want to display? Many of us choose Show My Home Page.
- Home Page
When a new page is opened, what do you want to be displayed?
- Use Current Page. Use what ever page(s) are open at that time.
- Use Bookmark
- Restore To Default. about:home shows a Mozilla home page with tools.
You can use any of these that you wish;
about:home (Firefox default home page), about:newtab (shows the sites most visited), about:blank (a blank page),
or you can enter any webpage or about: page you want.

not sure what you would like firefox to do about this. google is a world informational power. it is the master and we all must obey it, right? :-)
option 1: use microsoft browser as it is set up for bing'ing instead of google'ing
option 2: in firefox if you click on menu>tools>options>general & search tabs
these tabs will help you set up the browser
