Bing has hijacked my Firefox browser
Today it seems that Bing has taken over my Firefox browser. Every time I open a new tab, Bing shows up.
Bing is not one of the Browsers I use (see attached image). I have looked through all the Firefox Options settings and can see no location where Bing comes up.

Bing is a search engine not a browser (if this is really Bing) and harmless. Look in your Firefox add-ins and toolbars. I just disable Bing in IE and it never shows up.
That's the search engine selection page and it only shows Google, not Bing.

I checked installed programs for a Bing toolbar and none was installed. Bing was not to be found as an add-in either.
Then I wonder if it was really not true Bing after all. True Bing is a toolbar or add-in.

Hmmm...sure looked like the real thing.
Did you run a complete anti-virus scan? If some malicious program was involved, it is still there...

My comment solved the problem.
