Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

The search icon is still Yahoo in safe mode, but i discovered there is a drop down list of search engines, and that the 7zip download only made yahoo the selected one. I used "manage search engines" tool to revert selection to google, thus the problem is solved
