I just saw firefox updating and noticed that instead of the regular google search engine display on the toolbar, it now displayed a Yahoo toolbar without asking my permission to do it. I have been using firefox for many years and this has caused me to consider using another browser. An Unhappy User

Firefox 34 replaced Google in favor of Yahoo due to Mozilla reaching a 5 year deal with Yahoo. See more info below: http://yahoo.tumblr.com/1313 https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2014/11/19/promoting-choice-and-innovation-on-the-web/ http://blog.mozilla.org/press/2014/11/yahoo-and-mozilla-form-strategic-partnership/

You can change this as well if you would like to go back to Google.

  • Click the The image "new fx menu" does not exist. button --> then Options -> Search tab.
