I try to remove Yahoo from my search engines using "manage my search engines," but Yahoo keeps reappearing every time I restart Firefox. Why?

Hi kschnapp,

You should take a look at this Search Bar article. It will show you the location of where the searches are stored. You could just delete it from there.

You should also look at the article Preferences not saved.

Hopefully this helps!

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
