What are you talking about? The home page or the search bar?
Separate Issue; Your System Details shows;
Installed Plug-ins
Shockwave Flash 23.0 r0
Shockwave Flash 17.0 r0
Having more than one version of a program may cause issues.
You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.
Flash: Grab the uninstaller from here: Uninstall Flash Player | Windows Uninstall Flash Player | Mac
Then reinstall the latest version.
Note: Windows users should download the active_x for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).
Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the active_x.
Flash Player Version: 23.0.0.207 Flash Player (Linux) Version 11.2. 202.643

I wonder where you downloaded Firefox from. You may have installed the Yahoo special "partner version" that has some modifications that "favor" Yahoo services and may use a Yahoo page as the Start Page for Firefox.
When you open Help > About Firefox does that window say anything about Yahoo there?
Always best to get software directly from the source - Mozilla.
