With reference to my question just posted, also now when I click on my Firefox browser, the Yahoo search engine seems to take over and it won't let me come out of it. Mark

Then you need to set a homepage or homepage search engine for Firefox.

Firefox is a web browser and not a search engine as Yahoo is a search engine. Mozilla does not have a search engine of their own.

Firefox has not come with Yahoo as one of the search engine defaults (nor anything else Yahoo related) either by Firefox install or a Firefox update since the Firefox 57.0 Release as you can see in /forums/contributors/712925

It could have been installed/changed by one of your Extensions you have installed in Firefox either during recent extension install or extension update. So either it added a Yahoo search engine or took over your Homepage.
