Bing search page opens when I launch Firefox, about once a month

Sometimes when I open Firefox, a new tab opens with the Bing search page. This happens irregularly, but I'd guess perhaps once a month or so.

I have Firefox configured to remember my previous session, and I always have tabs left over from the previous session. So I never see the homepage, but my homepage and new tab page are both configured to be "Firefox Home (default)".

I'm on Windows 10. I have checked my homepage config, about:addons and Installed Programs; there is no mention of Bing. When I type in the Firefox address bar or the search bar, the search uses Google, as I expect.

Any idea why I occasionally get bing.com opening up in a tab when I launch Firefox?

I've had Firefox installed for years. Downloaded the installer from Firefox website. This problem with Bing has only happened in the last few months. Firefox v106.0.1 (64-bit).

My settings for new tab are the same as in your screenshot. For the search, the settings look as the attached screenshot.
