How to get rid of Yahoo/Spigot as a search in Firefox.
Trying to get Google UK as my home page and search engine, but Yahoo/Spigot overrides everything in Firefox settings............ https://uk.search.yahoo.com/?type=926458&fr=spigot-yhp-ie No Spigot toolbar to delete. No reference to Spigot in Control Panel - Programs and Features. Yahoo/Spigot is default in Internet Options - Home Page tabs. Entering Google and saving, makes no difference. Yahoo/Spigot again overrides every time I try to change. Using brand new laptop with Win 10.

Problem solved. Used AdwCleaner and it took a few seconds. I lost a large doc.folder in the process but I had a backup. Thank you, the-edmeister.
