My homepage changed inexplicably, to me, anyway, from Google to Yahoo. I don't know what I did to make that happen, but I want to go back to Google and I really have no idea how to go about making that change. Please and thank-you in advance for any help you folks can provide me with to that end. Respectfully Submitted, Daniel Juhasz

You don't mention the Yahoo toolbar, I expect that you have though and don't use it or want it.

Remove the Yahoo Toolbar

  1. "Ctrl+Shift+A" (Add-ons Manager)
  2. Select Puzzle piece on left-side for Extensions List
  3. Find "Yahoo Toolbar" and click on "Uninstall" button, and restart Firefox.

Then to fix the default search engine used at the Location Bar, change the value of keyword.URL in about:config to one of the values shown in Location Bar search at MozillaZine.

  1. type in about:config into the location bar (in a new tab)
  2. if the warning message nonsense comes up uncheck the box before dismissing the dialog message
  3. filter on keyword
  4. right-click on keyword.URL and choose "modify" then paste in the Google search engine string of your choice.
  5. # filter on keyword
  6. right-click on browser.search.defaulturl (if it exists) and again choose "modify" then paste in the Google search engine string of your choice.
  7. right-click on yahoo.ytff.search.popup_src (if it exists) and again choose "modify" then paste in the Google search engine string of your choice, if adventurous might see if "reset" would remove and see if gone in next session.

Avoiding the problems: Many software installations contain additional baggage know as crapware. The Yahoo Toolbar is packaged with Java picture

More information on configuration variables available in about:config entries and for users not familiar with the process there is about:config (How to change).
