On my mozilla start page, there is a search bar in the middle of the page. It has always been google, but suddenly it is bing. I hate bing! I've been trying to figure out how to change it but it is beyond me.

I downloaded a game from msn games a week or so ago, and I'm thinking that is what brought this about. I deleted the game off my computer, but don't know how to fix this...

If you are talking about the default Firefox 4+ homepage - about:home - run this code in the Scratchpad to change the about:home search engine back to Google.

Firefox button > Web Developer -> Scratchpad -
copy and paste this script into Scratchpad > then hit Execute > Run

 
javascript:{localStorage["search-engine"]="{\"name\":\"Google\",\"searchUrl\":\"http://www.google.com/search?q=_searchTerms_&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a\"}";void(0);}

You can also reset the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone pref via the right-click context menu to the default on the about:config page and close and restart Firefox to restore the about:home page to its default.

  • Open the about:config page via the location bar
  • Type in the Filter bar: mstone
  • Right-click the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone line and select: Reset
  • Close and restart Firefox
