I've tried to remove a Yahoo forced search with no luck. When you open a new tab and start a new page Yahoo search comes up. How do you permanently remove it?

Are you talking about the home page? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-to-set-the-home-page

You can also remove any engine from here.
