I installed Duck Duck Go for Search Engine. And, I've repeatedly deleted Default Browser (which was Google NOT Yahoo). How I find where Yahoo is to COMPLETELY DELETE IT?

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

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