When I open Google.co.in and input my search Firefox opens search result in Yahoo Search, though default search is kept as Google. every time I need to open Google.co.in once again to get search results on Google itself.

I have blocked Popups but it still opens them up sometimes in new window and sometimes in same window, its irritating, mostly it opens Flipkart.com.

Help to resolve said issues.
