Mozilla is my homepage and whenever type anything in the search line it takes me to results in Yahoo. My result used to be in Google. I've selected Google as my default in the search box near the address line, but it didn't fix the issue

If you are talking about the "search container" on the default about:home page, delete the webappsstore.sqlite file in your Profile folder when Firefox is closed.

Thanks, but that didn't solve the issue. I changed the settings so that when I launch Firefox it opens to Google
