to the right of the navigation bar is the search bar. the search bar has a drop down menu with a list of search engines. Currently, yahoo is the default. i have gone into "manage search engines" and then selected yahoo, then clicked on remove.

the problem is it keeps coming back, (as the default engine no less), after restarting firefox. i have disabled ALL extensions, but no plugins.

i have gone into about:config, did a word search with yahoo, and either reset the value or changed it to google. didnt help.

advice?

which file might the search engines be found? perhaps i could go and delete it there. note, searching for it didnt find it in explorer.

Hello ff2by2, try to delete the yahoo search plugin from C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins , it is an .xml file, and check it again.

thank you

well, i didnt expect a reply so fast, i had already refreshed firefox (the brute force technique) and that solved it. but will keep you advice in case some program sneaks yahoo back in.

dont companys realize that crapware makes users antagonistic? it is a self defeating ploy on their part.

You can also try to delete the search.json file and a possible search.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder if the issue returns.
