New tab opens with the Bing search engine

So I'm having exactly the same problem like this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/959280

In short, I updated firefox and now the new tabs always open with a bing search engine. The url that keeps opening is: search.conduit.com/?ctid=CT3312375 & octid = EB_ORIGINAL_CTID & SearchSource = 69 & CUI = & SSPV = EB_SSPV & lay = 1 & UM = 2 & UP = SP634F83D9 - 5B 86-4960 - A131 - 4A6C35FD668C

I am convinced that this is not a problem with any add ons. I disabled everything possible that could affect it.

I tried to use the suggestion of the top answer but in the subject: config section, I don't have a preference searchinnewtabeenabledbyuser name. I looked at all the others 'newtab' preferences related names and did what the original fold says (wrong type in the value section) but it did not work! There's a name preference called browser.newtab.url by the url that opens each new tab as the "value", but whenever I try to change it, it is just for this url.

So, I'd appreciate it if someone could help me. I hate Bing! Even more now that they pulled this shit.

could go you firefox > help > troubleshooting information, copy the contents of this page and paste them here in an answer on the forum? This could give us an idea of what's going on...
