Google automatically switched my search engine.

The search engine was set to Firefox. Now, when I do a search, I get a Google page. How do I change back to Firefox?

Firefox is a web browser and not a search engine. If you search using Firefox then the default search engine as set in "Settings -> Search" is used and that is likely Google, so nothing is wrong and this should be expected behavior.
