If yahoo does not stay gone, I will mograte to CHROME permanently. I do not care if you have a financial partnership with them or not.
I keep changing my default search engine. I have deleted Yahoo and yet, every time I restart my browser, Yahoo is the default search engine. It even makes itself the home page..... I HATE Yahoo and do not want to be forced to use it. If it does not stop reinstating itself, I will permanently change browsers. I do not need this hassle...

Did you load a yahoo toolbar or something? Looking at my search engine options shows no yahoo on there.

The "partnership" with Yahoo is over! The Yahoo search engine has been removed from Firefox; for a few versions already. I suspect that you inadvertently installed something that contained malware and that is redirecting your searches.

Actually as of Firefox 57.0 and later any locales of Firefox that had Yahoo as one of the default search engine options was changed back to Google. As of Firefox 59.0 and 52.7.0esr and later Releases the Yahoo search engine was completely removed and not just hidden. https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2017/11/14/firefox-features-google-as-default-search-provider-in-the-u-s-canada-hong-kong-and-taiwan/

Little public information on the real reason(s) for the complete removal however Mozilla and Yahoo have been in a legal dispute for some months now. https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2017/12/05/mozilla-files-cross-complaint-against-yahoo-holdings-and-oath/
So Firefox 57.0, 58.0, 59.0, 60.0 from mozilla.org or www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ does not come with Yahoo as a search engine option on any locale anymore.
This is due to some other means outside of Firefox adding the search engine or due to malware or due to an extension you installed.
For a time there were some people who got a malware called Yaahoo for example.
You have to actually add the Yahoo search engine back if you want to use it in Firefox. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/yahoo-search-addon/ or http://mycroftproject.com/yahoo-search-plugins.html
