When opening a new tab in the window it says "search bing" I don't really like bing and I just want the page to open blank like before. Is there anyway that I can Change this?

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).


You can open the about:config page via the location bar and do a search for bing via the Filter at the top of the about:config page.
You can reset all bing related prefs that appear bold (user set) via the right-click context menu to their default values.

the problem seemed to be the extension 'Startnow" 2.3.0. After disabling it I don't have the bing seach bar in a new tab.

1. At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP), and then click Add-ons. The Add-ons Manager tab will open.

2. In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Extensions panel.

3. Click the name of an extension in the list to select it. 4. Click Disable to disable the selected extension. 5. Repeat this for each of the other extensions in the list. 6. Click Restart Firefox

thanks for the help!

Hi folks My problem is the one you probably have. That's with bing, I hate the@$#!@#@#$$ thing. It redirects my Google to it. I have tried everything I've read about to do, but so far nothing has helped. I'm no computer dummy, I went into Firefox about:config and did everything I was told. I was able to take it off my menu bar though.

Another person has or had this same problem and  this is what he posted and I have tried the same things 

I'm running Vista Ultimate 64 firefox 7.01

Any search in the location bar, like "Windows sucks", results in a bing page, not going to google search lists like it used to.

I don't have any tool bars installed. Google is my default search engine. About:config keywordURL is set to google. "search helper extension" doesn't appear in add-ons, nor does bing. I've disabled all add-ons, restarted. Same result. I started in safe mode Same result. I've removed bing from IE8, set google as default. There are no toolbars installed.

I've searched my programs list. Nothing mentioned appears, everything seems fine. I looked at recent updates, nothing related to "search". I've looked in program files/program files (x86) for Program Files but no such folder exists. I searched regedit for "bing", few results, but nothing that seemed linked with FF or IE8.

Here is the easy fix for this. Open control panel and uninstall the "Start Now Toolbar". That will fix the problem!! Yeehaw!
