I had to re-install all my programs and for some reason I am having problems adding and keeping my address bar search option as well as keeping Google my search engine. I have deleted Yahoo 4 times in the search box and I have gone into about:config to alter the search engine and address bar search each time I start up Firefox. It won't stay put each day. Can anyone help with this?

Hi pmnewell,

You should look at the article How to fix preferences that won't save.

Hopefully this helps!
