I keep setting Google as my default search provider, but it always switches to Yahoo. How can I prevent this from happening?
I open up the preferences tab and change my default search engine to google. Then for safe measure, I remove Yahoo from the search list. Yet whenever I open a new window, Yahoo is the default search engine
