About one half of the time when I search ANYTHING using ONLY GOOGLE, (all the other search engines are turned off), It randomly has the search engine switch to Yahoo. This is extremely frustrating and I used to be able to fix it by just hitting the back arrow when i see the very long yahoo URL, but now I cannot fix it when I hit the back arrow. Please help me.

Thank you

First we don't know if this is a user set Google search homepage or Firefox default install page when first installed that is being used.
