Having problem with Bing hijack of Google search, do you have a remedy to suggest?
My default search is set to Google but when I search Bing hijacks the search. Do you have a fix for this. Nothing I have found on the internet appears to fix this problem. From what I have seen on the internet It is a pretty common problem and annoying to many people. I would hope you have a fix that doesn't involve buying an app. I'm a long time, satisfied, Firefox user but I will have to switch to chrome if this can't be fixed. Thankyou, PoppaB

That is indeed an annoying problem.
First, would you check this : 3-bar menu => Add-ons => Extensions and remove anything that looks unfamiliar or suspicous.
Then, do a malware check.

Note : Run most or all of the listed malware scanners.
They all work differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.
