How did this get on my MAC OSX and how do I get rid of it. Sometimes Yahoo shows up. I have deleted from search preferences Yahoo but cannot get rid of searchmapsnow.

Looks like you've got malware, which you will of course need to get rid of.

Go to the 3-bar menu (or   'Tools') => Addons => Extensions and look for any unfamiliar or suspicious looking extensions. When you find any : remove them.

Also look in : 3-bar menu (or 'Tools') => Options => Advanced => Network tab => Under : 'Offline Web Content and User Data'

However :   most malware will be 'hiding' somewhere , so let's run malware scans :

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners.

What great advice. I downloaded malwarebytes. Immediately it took care of being sent to places I did not want to go. It always seems to be Yahoo! Makes me never want to go to anything with a Yahoo name.
