How to avoid others to take over , BING / MYSTART among others. 

I do have AOL as well as GOOGLE Crome & InternetExplorer & Yahoo WHICH I like to keep / especially AOL for my mail as well as Yahoo for other-mail & as a chat room.

Why is BING taking over my domains on everything except AOL & YAHOO ????

Hello,

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.

To Reset Firefox do the following:

  1. Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
  2. Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
  3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
  4. Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.

Thank you.
