All of a sudden yahoo has taken over my search in google. How do I get rid of it?
Google is my home page. Recently when I type my search item in the google box it re-directs to yahoo and gives me shady hits. If I can't get rid of yahoo I'm deleting firefox. There is no way to contact them whatsoever so my frustration level is through the roof! Tried to do a system restore to my computer to get rid of it and then it messed up my firefox so it wouldn't launch. When I re-downloaded it at the firefox site it put that vosteran virus on my computer. I am appalled that firefox is not on top of this. Finally got rid of vosteran but am stuck with this effing yahoo. Want it effing gone! The image won't upload of course!

The Orange Firefox Button top Left and click to open it Select Options and the first tab "General" Under Home Page: that is where you put the URL of page you want it to open a new tab to or Home page.
Or Firefox Menu Bar (very Top Bar) Tools >> Options>> General

hi
you can reset your default search engine by
- clicking the menu button
- options
- search
- choose google from the dropdown
- untick the other search engines in the lower box
this will leave you with just google search as your seach engine
I forgot they added that Thanks Jepoi
