Firefox 37 and Windows 7: it's bad enough that Firefox browser is continously bugging me to change to crappy Yahoo search, now when I search via the address bar, I get a message, "are you SURE you mean to type XYZ" and when I select yes, I'm sent to Yahoo search page sponsored by Verizon - the design of the page is staight from 1998. What the heck is going on? Time to switch to Chrome or Mercury?

Hello,

You can change you default search providers back to Google, please refer to article Search bar - add, change and manage search engines on Firefox.


Let us know if this helps!

You may have an ISP that automatically redirects you to a search page if a DNS look up fails. This takes the control from Firefox to do a search. You can contact your ISP and ask for a DNS server to opt-out of that feature. You can check if there is a link on the search results page to go to your ISP and opt-out.

You can set different DNS servers.

If you are using a Verizon supplied router, see this. http://www.verizon.com/support/residential/internet/fiosinternet/troubleshooting/network/questionsone/99031.htm
