where do I find what's taking over this?

I've uninstalled firefox and re-installed it - same problem.

I'm guessing firefox keeps unchanged settings but how do I do a clean re-install? Otherwise please direct me as to how I can completely remove this seach redirecting. Thanks

Sounds like you need to change your default search engine in Firefox. Please see this support article to learn how to do that. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-your-default-search-settings-firefox
