Search in page forwards to Google search
I have Firefox installed on Mac. When pressing [Command+F] to search contents of the current page, a search bar appears, but it performs search in Google instead. The settings I found only allow to search in different engines, Wikipedia, ebay, Twitter etc.

The page search [Command+F] is separate from the search engines. One should not be calling the other.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
Let’s do a full clean re-install;
Download Firefox For All languages And Systems {web link}
Save the file. Then Close Firefox.
Using your file browser, open the Programs Folder on your computer.
Windows: C:\Program Files C:\Program Files (x86)
Mac: Open the "Applications" folder. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-download-and-install-firefox-mac
Linux: Check your user manual. If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it. See Install Firefox on Linux; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux
If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder Firefox in your home directory. http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Look for, and remove any Mozilla or Firefox program folders. Do not remove the Mozilla Thunderbird folder if there is one.
Do Not remove any profile folders.
After rebooting the computer, run a registry scanner if you have one. Then run the installer. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ If there is a problem, start your Computer in safe mode and try again.

Occasionally you might find a site that intercepts Command+f (on Windows, Ctrl+f) and captures your query into their own search bar, and then they may use Google site-targeted search to get the results. But that's very unusual. If you see this often, perhaps one of your add-ons is changing how Find works... strange.
