Use my default search engine for tabs
I set my search engine as google. I deleted AOL as a search engine. When I open Firefox, no problem, Google is there. But if I click on a tab, it automatically links me to AOL's home page. I want tabs to be google searches too.

hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware on your pc.
- please go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > extensions & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc).
- also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there.
- finally, run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner, which are specialised in adware and browser hijackers.
