The default search engine in Firefox is Google. However, it is very easy for add-ons to change it to the search engine of their choice.

Try disabling all non-essential add-ons here:

orange Firefox button or classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions

In particular, look for "Bing" items, "Search Helper Extension", "Startnow", "Vuze" and anything else that sounds nonessential. If in doubt, click the More link and see whether it mentions using Bing technology.

Once you're down to essentials, restart Firefox, change the about:config setting yet again, and see whether it sticks.

If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:

Start Firefox in Safe 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).
