Firefox is set as my default browser, however, recently whenever I do a search, Bing is being used. How do I change this.

Chosen solution

Should be able to go to Tools -> Settings -> Search and change the default search engine in the drop-down. You can set it to any engine you've added to Firefox.

You can also remove Bing on the same page in Settings. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-your-default-search-settings-firefox https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-or-remove-search-engine-firefox
