In downloading a program (Vuze) I mistakenly didn't uncheck the box asking if I wanted Bing as the browser. Its now taken root in my computer and everything has failed to get Firefox back . Help.

Bing is a search engine, not a browser. Vuze likely asked to make Bing your default search engine in Firefox. (According to your system details, you're still using Firefox. :) )
