Somehow, Bing has taken over my firefox browser. How do i get rid of it? I went into search defaults and deleted it but it is still there lurking.

Thanks in advance!

“Taken Over” how? Your home page is Bing? (Go change it in prefs). The Bing toolbar is present (go turn it off in add-ons, or uninstall it from Windows). It’s still using Bing as your search engine when you’ve told it not to? (Report it as a bug to Mozilla). Something else?
