Yahoo is the default search engine for Firefox. You don't need to install this, it is built-in with browser. Consider to see this article about changing your default search engine: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/use-search-bar-firefox#w_set-a-default-search-engine
do you mean 'y' in address bar is hardcoded to yahoo search?
it wasnt so in v.39 i was using y for yandex but now in 40 its hardcode?
so fucking shame
You can check the keyword assigned to search engines in "Options/Preferences > Search".

thats exactly where i have Yandex assigned to Y and no Yahoo at all

Are you using 'y' with parameters appended or only a bar 'y'?
A keyword is only recognized when used with at least one parameter. Otherwise autocomplete might pop in.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
