Firefox automatically redirects to Bing

[Laverne]

When I click on Firefox it automatically redirects to Bing. How do I remove this. I'm on Windows.

Hello @Laverne, 

Welcome!

1. Check, change the: Default Search Engine in the Firefox browser - about:preferences#search? 

Thank you🙏

Also, set FireFox as Your default browser in Windows settings and/or in FireFox settings.

Google is already ticked and Firefox is already my default brower. It seems that there is some hacking going on and as I click on Firefox it automatically suddenly goes to Bing.

What Windows are You using? Do you have Bing app installed in Your Windows Control Panel -> Programs and features?

Im using Windows 11 and there is no Bing app on my programs

Have You tried also to do a FF reset:

Check Your FF add-ons for some suspicious one...
