I much prefer to use google as my default search in the search bar. I have gone into options, search and removed every search engine except Google. Every time I close my browser and reopen it my default search engine is again Findwide which automatically searches Yahoo. I've deleted this search engine so many times and it keeps coming back. How can I get rid of it (and yahoo which shows up with every update) for good?

After the problem is fixed, Bookmark and use this; Download the Mozilla Search Reset {web link} This add-on is very simple: on installation, it backs up and then resets your search preferences and home page to their default values, and then uninstalls itself. This affects the search bar, URL bar searches, and the home page.
