Why change serach engines?
Yo moved form Google search to yahoo search. I left yahoo years ago as I was hacked every other day and they do not care about security at all and all their search page gives me is a list of more search pages not what I want to see, I want what I was searching for. I hate all things yahoo and since you are making it so hard to leave ysearch I am now going to have to move to chrome which I do not love but at least google will give me things I am looking for not just a list of other search engines for it. I use firefox at home and work but now will leave it permanently as I really hate all things yahoo. I tried to get help this is all they told me I could do

Mozilla cut off all ties to Yahoo a couple of years ago. Not caused by the basic Firefox installation.
It sounds like you have a third party program that has taken over your search engine, home page, and/or the default new tab page. Fortunately, this can be remedied easily:
- Click the menu button The image "fx57menu" does not exist. and choose Add-ons.
- In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Extensions panel.
- Select the toolbar you wish to remove.
- Click the Remove button.
- Click "Restart now" if it pops up. Your tabs will be saved and restored after the restart.
For further information, please read Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page.

Yahoo search was removed from locales that had it as of Firefox 57.0 Release and later.
