I'm aware an update changed the default search engine and homepage to yahoo in January. This surely can't still be the cause of why it's still happening in October, can it? Firefox says I'm using the most recent version 40.0.3. Has this issue been fixed? I'm tired of switching my homepage and search bar back to google every time I open a new tab.

Thanks,

Anna
