In a recent download (i believe) it caused the opening page to change to Yahoo - it was Google.

I have changed this back to Google - default - but .............

In the search bar the word "yahoo" appears - and the search goes through Yahoo - not Google.

How can i change this, please

Hello jeff3, from firefox 23.0 and above the keyword.URL not exist anymore, so firefox 23.0 (and above) will use the default search engine as set for the search bar and for the location bar(or address bar or awesome bar).

Search bar - Easily choose your favorite search engine

you can have the option (to use different search engines in location bar and in search bar) back again if you choose 1 of the next addons
