A downloaded application surreptitiously loaded Yahoo search and I can't stop it being a default, can't find what or where it is. This is a real invasion of privacy and should be corrected.

Hi garsoft,

First thing I would do is check to see if you have a yahoo addon in Tools > Addons. If you do, delete it.

Then you should take a look at the Knowledge Base article Search bar - add, change and manage search engines on Firefox. Your default search might have been changed by a particular site. Sites like MSN, Yahoo, etc have been know to ask to become your homepage and change your search engine.

If the address bar search has been changed as well, you might want to take a look at Location bar search.

If that doesn't work you should look at the article How to fix preferences that won't save.

Finally, your issue may be because you've been hit with some Malware.

Hopefully this helps!
