Cannot use any search engine except Bing

[jebrighton]

I recently noticed that all my searches were on Bing instead of Google. I use Firefox and even though I have Google choosen as my default, it still uses Bing. I can even key in Google to go to their site and a search box appears, although different from what I am used to. If I key in something to search for, I find myself using Bing. Any thoughts on this?

See if any of this helps: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1141917 - some of it refers to mac but there is also Windows advice there.

Click those three bars in the top right hand corner. Click on options. Click on Search in the left-hand pane. You have Google as the default. You can then delete Bing or any other search engine you'd rather not be on board. Select Bing, click on Remove(below search engine box). Done. It automatically saves your choices.

The link that Colif gave me referred to an add--on called SafeSearch Incongito which I disabled and, walla, Google is back. Thanks
