When I installed a new tool bar and it asked which search engine to use, I choose Google but it changed it to Yahoo. I want to change back to google.

This happened

Not sure how often

Reset the pref keyword~46~URL on the about:config page. See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Location_Bar_search and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Keyword%2eURL (pref: keyword~46~URL)

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems
