How do I get rid of browser search engines? (Firefox 31.0)

I's kind of annoying to see a "Bing Search" now displayed on every tab opened.

A few years ago, FF came equipped with integrated search engines.
The user could "remove all", but one still remained...

I'd like to be able to permanently close the drapes to the bedroom.
I'd like to get rid of the arrays of corporate cameras.

Today, Google and Facebook java-script seems to be integrated in most of the websites.
Then I usually reject the entire website.
Too complex. Give me data, not a fireworks display.
If the website doesn't have the capacity to display simple data then it gets placed in the round file.

(As a side note: Automated user-tracking without specific acceptance is a technically a contract by adhesion.)

Looking for a tech fix to break unwanted tracking.
Using FF version 31.0.
