I recently ran into a problem where Yahoo became my default search engine in the Firefox toolbar. I have checked my addons and extensions, went into About:Config several times and reset it to Google. I did a complete reset on Firefox and I did a System Restore to yesterday's date. It seems that no matter what I try, when I close Firefox and reopen it, the Yahoo Search is reset as the default. How do I get rid of it once and for all and keep Google as my default search engine in Firefox?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:
