The Bing search engine seems to have embedded itself in my Firefox toolbar. Now it's not in Options/Search/Search shortcuts and Google is my search engine default and works through the address bar correctly. I do have Ever Helpers "Speed Dial" installed but that doesn't seem to have any search engine options, so I don't know how I can get rid of the Bing search engine. Can you help?

Hi, open the 3-bar menu > Add-ons > Extensions, then look for and remove/disable anything you don't recognise. Restart Firefox afterwards.

Hold down the Shift key when you start Firefox to start in Safe Mode. More - Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode.

If it's OK in Safe Mode, disable any theme or extensions you have - 3-bar menu > Add-ons > Themes/Extensions, then restart Firefox; now if it's still OK, re-enable them one by one until you find the culprit. You may need to restart Firefox after enabling some extensions.

Another thing you can do is to look in your PC for any recently installed programs that you don't recognise.

You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

Note that not all removal programs will detect all malware, so you may need to run several of them.

Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.
