How do I reset the default search engine on Firefox? - lacroixca - 04-08-2014 07:22 PM
It's been hijacked by stupid Yahoo. I can't find a "change default search engine" option anywhere in the settings. Also, when I type about:config and go to Preference Name keyword.URL it won't let me change the string value from stupid search.yahoo.com. I didn't download any Yahoo add-ons to my knowledge. Please help because I hate stupid Yahoo. Thanks, Yahoo Answers!
...on a Mac. Yes, I have a Mac virus.

Go to Computer/C:/Users/(user)/AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox and delete Yahoo folder, then Firefox menu>Options>General>Startup>Restore defaults.
