New tab opens bing search , don't want

[JayhawksRock]

THIS PROCESS SHOULD ACTUALLY TAKE ONLY ABOUT A MINUTE!

But the Crapware will be on your computer forever !

@JJournale, bold text and caps-lock is considered yelling on the internet, FYI. Also, this problem happens because other software takes over your Firefox and reprograms it to do things you don't want it to do. Getting rid of that software is crucial as you never know what something uninvited will do. So yelling bad advice is really not appreciated... especially when you've already shared that same advice only minutes before.

SIMPLE SOLUTION:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/?src=ss

This app opens your homepage when you open a new tab.

To modify your homepage go to on the task bar
Tools -- Options --- General

And then enter your homepage address.

=No more bing

Or just disable whatever stupid toolbar is causing it to begin with.

Tools > Add-ons > Extensions > Remove oberon toolbar and restart Firefox.

This worked!

I have been getting the bing search page when I open a new tab. After reading some of the fixes suggested here, I opened a tab, got bing, saw that there is a link in the middle of the page "Remove."

I clicked it and a dialog box opened and allowed me to turn off the bing search in new tab feature. Seems to have worked. Am I missing something?

[JayhawksRock]

Not if it doesn't come back ! The malware that changed it is being friendly I guess ? The next restart will tell.

I tried what you wrote out shaded but though i find Bing in the search and it lists 2 items, there isn't any option to delete. How did you manage to get a delete option?

[fionnaandcake]

okay ya, its something in ur add-ons. if u dont have oberon or w/e else anyone has said just try disabling something u think might be it, and click that restart button (mine apparently was Divx plus webplayer html5 video)

all the best, and ty for this forum.

I'm sorry, but I'm a computer idiot. When you say "delete everything else", what exactly do you mean? I only have the browser.search.order.3 listed.

Problem:
Firefox was opening new tab on Babylon search page.
It was so annoying.
Solution:
1. enter "about:config" in URL
2. click "I'll be careful, I promise"
3. find "browser.newtab.url"
4. right click and reset

The plug in that was giving me issues was the Pando Web Plugin. Just thought I'd post and see if that helps anyone else.
