I have used FIREFOX as my browser since 2002 [my first Windows was DOS 1,0 and IBM before that. ]. I have used GOOGLE since it was invented. But Yesterday, I get BING on all NEW windows. If I open a new TAB, I get Google. I have even have removed ALL search engines using "about:preferences#search", but only BING on new Windows. Anyone?
