Opening up a new tab in Firefox causes it to open with a Bing search box but I don't have Bing as a toolbar, extension, plug-in or default search engine.
I am using Firefox 6.0 with Win 7.After upgrading from Vista to W7 and updating my various programs and drivers I found Bing set as my homepage and default search engine. I changed them both and they are okay now, but new tabs open with a Bing search box. I don't have a Bing toolbar, plug-in or extension, and Bing is no longer my default search engine or homepage. I do have the MS Office Live plug-in. I would like to have my new tabs open up blank.

Type about:config in the URL bar and hit Enter.
If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.
Put Bing in the filter line and see what turns up.
Right-click each pref that appears and use Copy, then Paste whatever prefs appear into the reply box here. Or you just select Reset and see if that fixes it.
Thanks for the reply; couldn't get back to you sooner. Here they are just as copied:
