Deleting default browser
When I search for anything my results come up in Yahoo. I keep deleting it but it comes back up. How do I permanently get rid of it. I delete it from the list but it is the "default" browser. So if I delete it it is back the next time I sign on.

Hi, you have a search engine hijacker that you possibly picked up when you installed another program. Please look through your installed programs for something that does not belong there and dump it. Also think back to when this began.
Usually it is Windows and Lavasoft and Web Companion are the issue.
Please give your self a scan after you have tried figuring out the above. https://www.malwarebytes.com/mac/
You can check for recently installed suspicious or unknown extensions.
Try a clean reinstall and download the full version and trash the currently installed Firefox application to do a clean reinstall.
Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the Disk Image file to the desktop Firefox 61.0.12:
- trash the currently installed Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean reinstall
- install the new version that you have downloaded

Your personal data like bookmarks is stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose personal data when you reinstall or update Firefox, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.
Reinstall Firefox
