After i boot up my PC, BING appears and sometimes it does'nt think

And sometimes when i click on Firefox it goes straight to my Sky News homepage,and sometimes its just a blank page think

And sometimes when i boot up my PC,before BING appears or before i clicked on the Firefox icon,for i split second antoher page tries to appear think

Also were's the spell checker gone think

So i know Kermit would have a look but i must be getting on his $%&^&in nerves by now,is there anything
i could sort myself d'you think think

I'm lost on the bing thing, can't find anything in your startup for Windows or browsers think

re spell check, perhaps that got removed with the FF refresh and didn't come back with the re-sync like your adblocker

This is the spell checking I have
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/british-engli sh-dictionary-2/?src=search

and this is the Language pack
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/english-gb-la nguage-pack/

Not sure what the difference between the two are but they're both fine to have there and one or both will get spell checking working again

Latest Update,i've scanned the PC all morning,Defender full scan,and it found nothing,
the only place the name BING is hiding is in Microsoft Edge,so should i delete Edge

Can't see Microsoft getting away with making a user preference for browser (Firefox in your case) default to bing sometimes.

Perhaps check these folders mentioned under "choosen solution" for dsengine.js and dsengine.cfg files

2nd option. I know even though Edge isn't set as default, it does run in the background when you login to Windows. You can stop that happening by following this guide which might help although your does seem a bit odd as my Windows 10 is similar with FF as my default browser and can't recall the last time I say bings page Laugh

"seems to be working"......for now Wink

fingers crossed for you, it was a strange one as I and millions of others on Win10 have Edge and if you don't use it, I'm fairly sure it doesn't get annoyed with you and punish you by forcing bing search on whatever browser you do use Laugh
