Address bar search redirects to Bing in spite of config settings

When I type a random search term into the address bar I'm getting redirected to a page of Bing search results. I have checked the about:config settings and none of the usual culprits (keyword.url, browser.search.defaultenginename etc.) are pointing me to Bing, yet I'm still being taken there.

Any help would be much appreciated.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened
