Kids have added a few games to PC and I have not used my PC for awhile. Switched on PC yesterday Firefox is showing as default page, however hit search and bang Bing takes over.
Any ideas how I get rid of it. I restored the PC to a past date, did not work. Thanks

Change your default search settings in Firefox.
The Search panel in Firefox Options lets you customize your search options. You can add or remove search engines, change your default search engine, turn the search bar on or off and choose whether to display search suggestions first or not at all. |

While you're at it, change your default search page to Duckduckgo. (unless you don't mind the spyware ad-infested Google)
or Startpage.com - which is basically Google results, minus all the tracking and ads. |

No worries, lads. DDG is decent, been around for a while but doesn't get advertised much.
You should think about changing browsers as well (Chrome, Firefox and Safari are all memory guzzlers). Brave is much quicker. |
