from 'man grep'

-l, --files-with-matches
Suppress normal output; instead print the name of each input
file from which output would normally have been printed. The
scanning will stop on the first match.

which to my understand would only show 1 file's listing, or 1st match in
each file. without the '-l', he gets *all* lines of all files containing
'bing'. i have never used '-l', so i can not say just how it works.

good point, and in a respect, yes. it would prove that problem is in his
current profile and not with firefox itself.
but he would have to go thru all configurations again and load in all of
his add-ons to safely use new profile.
i tend to believe that 'bing' problem is with an add-on and would/should
have proved out with restarting firefox with add-ons disabled. but it
did not.
because "browser.startup.homepage" is not in his 'about:config', there
in lies a part of his problem, which maybe that something is not allowing
his configuration setting to take. which is another problem in itself.
_normally_, firefox runs very well in linux. when it does not, it can
be a 'pita' to find problems. more so than with oos.

to mess up a linux box, you need to work at it.

The installation instructions stated to install Windows 2000 or better.
So I installed Linux.
