I installed Tune-up Utilities 2011 and when I restarted Firefox I had a search bar on the line that displays my open website tabs.

I have tried everything I can think of and/or find about Bing on the net, no help.

Ho help. When I open Firefox it will go to Google (my home page) but when I click File, New tab this is what it does.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

You can open the about:config page via the location bar and do a search for bing via the Filter at the top of the about:config page.
You can reset all bing related prefs that appear bold (user set) via the right-click context menu to their default values.
