When I type is "cats" or any word I am redirected to Bing for the search results. I've check that the default page, home, should be firefox but still am redirected.

Hi garykay, where are you entering your search? For example:

  • Firefox's address bar (above the page in the toolbar area) -- in the first line of the address bar drop-down, does Firefox say it will search with Bing, Google, or another search engine?
  • In the search box in the built-in Firefox Home / new tab page -- is the icon in the search box for Bing or for the site you want to search
  • On a search engine website, such as a Google
  • Somewhere else

Note: Firefox's built-in search boxes and address bar use the default search setting, which is separate from the home page setting. More info in this article: Change your default search settings in Firefox.
