Unable to use preferred search engine
I have Google set as the default and only search engine, but when I type a search it goes to Yahoo. It even says search with Google when I'm typing, but even when I click that it takes me to Yahoo's search engine.

hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware on your pc.
- please go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > extensions & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc).
- also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there.
- finally, run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner, which are specialised in adware and browser hijackers.

That fixed it! My mom has some weather bug toolbar that even said it redirected search results. Thank you!
