How do I get rid of yahoo as the search engine? I did an update a few weeks ago and now Yahoo is the search engine. Prior to this I was using Google. The difference if Google is like chatting with an intelligent college graduate and Yahoo is like dealing with a 4-year old.

I am ready to switch from Firefox to Chrome if this is cannot be resolved.
