Not sure if this is related but have you tried clicking in the search 
box on the logo/drop down arrow and then click on "Manage Search 
Engines"? Bing is mentioned there. Perhaps you could try to click on 
"Restore Defaults" or just remove Bing and everything you don't want.

Could it be a plugin that is messing with your settings? Have you 
checked about:plugins?
