When it was userset it was not changed to Yahoo, only the "default" setting was changed.

Sorry you are unhappy with that change, but if you change it now it will become userset and it won't be changed again.

Options > Search at the top to change it.

You can try to toggle this pref to false on the about:config page:

  • about:config page: browser.search.isUS = false
