search engine changed to yahoo and defalut is google
I have been using firefox for a few years now and am pleased with it. Just recently the search engine, google, was changed to yahoo and i do not want to use yahoo. I prefer google. This change was none of my doing; one day the search engine is yahoo. I have reloaded firefox, checked the settings on the computer and on firefox and i cannot make the change back to google.
I read something about an add-on and it was not clear as to what to do.
Any suggests?
Regards, Charlie
