"Something" installed a Yahoo search engine for you. Mozilla / Firefox dumped Yahoo years ago. "Options" in Firefox just ain't gonna get rid of it now. You need to find and remove whatever added that to your Firefox installation (as FredMcD mentioned).
Much more common in MacOS versions of Firefox, but much less so with Windows PC's.
