if you follow what Patrick suggested and find that problem is in your
profile, you can use new profile and rebuild or...

ok. now the 'long part'.

with firefox closed, open a file browser, move to your firefox profile
directory;

  /home/aaron/.mozilla/firefox/????????.default/

open a terminal, enter;

  grep bing * > 00-bing.0001

if file size great than 0, open '00-bing.0001' to see what files have
'bing' in them.

make a backup copy of files. open the files and insert '#' or required
comment mark at start of line/s that read 'bing'.

also, if you find 'bing' and it shows a directory path, rename 'bing'
directory.


next open directory 'extensions', look for a directory with 'bing' in
name. if none, open each sub directory and view files, looking for
reference to 'bing'. or, open terminal and;

  grep bing *

no need to redirect to a file, unless you want. if any file does have
'bing', move to top of path, in 'extensions' directory and append an
extension to that directory to block it being used.


i know this is a lot to go thru, but you can imagine what i have gone
thru to find these little 'tricks' to find problems.
