Why does FireFox 84.0.1 Search Window show Google - BUT - My searches show Yahoo as my search engine when I enter a search ?

Type about:addons<enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager. Hot key; (<Control> [Mac=<Command>] <Shift> A)

In the Add-ons Manager, on the left, select Extensions. Remove “ Google “ Anything.

Also remove SafeSearch, SearchAssist Incognito, FileConverter Addon, SearchLock, DiscreteSearch, WebSearch, Findwide Search Engine, securedsearch

Now do the same in the computer’s Programs Folder.

I had 2 "Extensions" that caused the problem.

I disabled both and problem solved.

Thank you for your help.
