Firefox: Remove Bing as Start Page

If Firefox uses Bing as the start page, you can also change this directly in the browser. To do this, open the menu in Firefox and go to "General" > "Home Page" in the settings. To delete Bing, select the "Restore default" option or enter the URL of the page you want to use as the start page instead. Since there is no need to confirm the change, simply close the settings again.
