Changing yahoo search to google
Yahoo search only brings back ads and need to do search after search after search to get a result
I need to change to google or may have to drop Firefox
How can that be accomplished?

hi, google should already be the default search provider in firefox. in case yahoo is taking over without you opting in to that it may be an issue with adware on the affected system.
- please go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > extensions & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc).
- in case you're on windows, also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there.
- finally, run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner, which are specialised in adware and browser hijackers.
