Every time I click on the Moz F-fox icon on my desk top it takes me to a "Bing" browser page. I'm not sure how Bing got on my computer but I'd like to delete it so I can go directly from my desk top to Mozzilla Firefox Browser.

That one was done with a Microsoft update that incorrectly updated people not using Bing.

-> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar

-> go to Help Menu -> select Restart with Add-ons Disabled

Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:

-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect Bing Toolbar

-> go to Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> Time range to clear: select "EVERYTHING" -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on Cookies, Cache -> click Clear Now

-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> General -> When Firefox starts : select "Show My Home Page" -> Type the address of the website which you want to be your HomePage e.g. http://www.google.com

-> Click OK on Options window

-> click the Favicon on SearchBar -> click Manage Search Engines -> select Google and move it to top -> click OK

-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE Bing Extension (Add-on) -> Restart Firefox

You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons and Themes later. Check and tell if its working.
