Why can't I make Firefox QUIT bringing up yahoo as my search engine every time I restart?

Every time I change my default search engine, and then close out of Firefox, it automatically gets switched back to yahoo. I hate yahoo. How do I get the search engine to change to bing, and STAY bing when I close out of Firefox?

Hi  !

Yahoo Search is a legitimate search engine, but you may be dealing with search.yahoo.com, which is a browser hijacker, that you will of course want to get rid of. Better safe than sorry, so :

Go to the 3-bar menu (or   'Tools') => Addons => Extensions and look for any unfamiliar or suspicious looking extensions, like e.g. :

• SafeSearch Incognito • SearchAssist Incognito • File Convertor and Search Addon

When you find any : remove them.

Do the same in Windows' Control Panel => Programs.

However :   most malware will be 'hiding' somewhere , so let's run malware scans :

Further information can be found in this article :

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners.
They all work differently   -   what one program doesn't pick up, the other might.
