How can I change the "about:home" homepage's search engine and logo to Bing?
I would like to not use Google as my search engine if Firefox, so I went and changed the Awesome Bar's search engine to Bing but I can't change the "about:home" 's search engine to Bing. I would like for my Firefox to show the Bing logo and search Bing instead of Google. Thanks.

I tried making two different profiles, one for Firefox and one for Aurora. I renamed the "Default User" to "Hal-9000" and the profile I created to use with Aurora is named "Aurora User". I created an Aurora shortcut to "Aurora User" on my desktop. I pasted the link to this question in the Awesome bar so I could get the Bing "About:home" search engine code from one of our first posts. I tried to run the code in Scratchpad the way I've done it with Firefox but Google is still the search engine. I got the search engine on the "About:home" page back to Bing in Firefox (not Aurora). I dunno why Bing will work in Firefox, but not Aurora. I wanted to let you know what happened. I might just use Firefox till this can get worked out with Aurora, that is if you can't get it fixed for me :)
