how do i eliminate yahoo search totally and forever.
I want to eliminate Yahoo resetting itself to be my default search engine. Every time I shut down, Yahoo repositions itself and takes over. The only thing I use Yahoo for is the mail and messenger. I do not use Yahoo search because there is no way I can see that allows control of what history it keeps. I usually use Bing.

Which search engine do you mean?
Is this:
- searching via the location bar (pref: keyword.URL)
- search bar on the Navigation Toolbar
- search bar on the about:home page
- other search bar (e.g. added by extension)
If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:
Try to reset some preferences to the default with the SearchReset extension:
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
If there is a problem with searching via the default about:home page then try to reset the search engine used on the about:home page.
Reset the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone pref via the right-click context menu to the default on the about:config page and close and restart Firefox to restore the about:home page to its default.
- Open the about:config page via the location bar
- Type in the Filter bar: mstone
- Right-click the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone line and select: Reset
- Close and restart Firefox
If this didn't help then delete the delete the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder and repeat the above.
