I have my default search engine as google. (Also my home page is set to google) I don't have any extensions or add on's that have Bing obviously in the name. When I search from my home page (google) the list of results it suggests is still google, but when i click on the magnifying glass beside the search box at the top of the page, the results then switch to Bing results.


I made a video of it happening but it won't let me upload a video.

Separate Issue; Your System Details shows;

Installed Plug-ins

Shockwave Flash 18.0 r0 Shockwave Flash 24.0 r0
Having more than one version of a program may cause issues. You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.

Flash: Grab the uninstaller from here: Uninstall Flash Player | Windows Uninstall Flash Player | Mac

Then reinstall the latest version.

Note: Windows users should download the active_x for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).

Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the active_x.

Flash Player Version: 24.0.0.194

https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ Direct link scans current system and browser Note: Other software is offered in the download. <Windows Only>

Thanks for the info above, I read that reply in another thread where someone had the same problem. I have already done that, and there were no Add ons listed that had BING in them anywhere. I also have no programs that have Bing anywhere. That's why I mentioned in my question that I have no add ons or extensions with Bing in them.

Any other possible solutions?

Thanks.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

Is the problem still there?

Start your Computer in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox. Try Safe websites. Is the problem still there?
