Tab Default Settings
When I click the "New Tab" button (or the "+" sign on the right of the current tab), it used to take me to a blank page where i could start typing in the web address bar. For some reason, it now takes me to a blank page with the "bing" search bar. My only problem with this is that now when I start typing immediately, it posts the web address I type into the Bing search bar. I don't want the "Bing search bar" and I'm not sure how I added it into my blank tabs. I've looked on my "control panel" internet settings, I've looked under the Firefox menu in "options" and I can't seem to find the area where I would address this issue. I'm sure this is a little issue, but I'd love some support, if possible. Thank you, in advance, for your help in resolving this issue! Kait

Remove Bing:
That one was done with a Microsoft update that incorrectly updated people not using Bing.
