On my computer Mozilla's default searcher is Yahoo, while on another computer Mozilla's default searcher is Google. How could I make Google be Mozilla's default searcher on my computer too?

When I open the default web site of Firefox on my computer, and write something, it searches according to Yahoo. There is another computer on which if I write something on the default web site of Firefox, it searches according to Google. I want the default web site of Firefox to search according to Google on my computer too. I tried to change my default searcher many ways, but I did not manage. Yahoo is ineradicable! I cancelled my Firefox, and downloaded again, but the default searcher remained Yahoo. What could I do to get free of Yahoo?

Dear Gryllida,

thank you very much for your message, but sorrowly it was not helpful to me. I did what you suggested:  I reset my keyword.URL and chose Google as my search engine, but nothing has changed. Do you have another idea?
With best regards

Please try to create a new Firefox profile and check for the issue there.
