I want searches from my 'address bar' to be Google and not Yahoo

Either Firefox or McAfee gave me a pop-up about "Safe Search". I'm not sure what I clicked, but now when I type a search or website address into the 'address' bar on my firefox (latest version), I just get a list of websites in yahoo. For example, previously, if typed "BBC" I would be redirected to the BBC website, whereas now I just get a list of Yahoo results about "BBC". Please help - I have searched quite a few places for a solution.

I mean the "Navigation Toolbar"

... giving "Yahoo" results instead of "Direction to best-fit website and/or redirection to Google results.

Thanks

I don't want to do the uninstall (and reinstall) option - because then I'll lose all my history etc...

I just want the navigation bar to go back to its default operation - and not do the Yahoo thing.
