I want to eliminate Yahoo resetting itself to be my default search engine. Every time I shut down, Yahoo repositions itself and takes over. The only thing I use Yahoo for is the mail and messenger. I do not use Yahoo search because there is no way I can see that allows control of what history it keeps. I usually use Bing.

Which search engine do you mean?

Is this:

  • searching via the location bar (pref: keyword.URL)
  • search bar on the Navigation Toolbar
  • search bar on the about:home page
  • other search bar (e.g. added by extension)

If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:

Try to reset some preferences to the default with the SearchReset extension:

Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).

If there is a problem with searching via the default about:home page then try to reset the search engine used on the about:home page.

Reset the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone pref via the right-click context menu to the default on the about:config page and close and restart Firefox to restore the about:home page to its default.

  1. Open the about:config page via the location bar
  2. Type in the Filter bar: mstone
  3. Right-click the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone line and select: Reset
  4. Close and restart Firefox

If this didn't help then delete the delete the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder and repeat the above.
