When typing in the private browsing search bar that has the opera mask icon it used to send to google now it goes to yahoo. I tried the about:config and typed keyword.url and reset but that did not work. Any ideas to restore google? Also I was able to get google in the other search bar to the right of the opera mask but would like to have the previous setting.

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

You can also try this extension.

Cor-el, yes my issue was solved by going into safe mode, checking the restore Mozilla defaults box then restarting. From that point all I had to do was reset my AT&T home page. Thank you for your assistance, Rudedawg
