You appear to be first to mention the Yahoo menu item of those I've seen here, and there are some different versions of the Yahoo Toolbar maybe you have a different extension but this is how it goes for the Toolbar. You might check for another extension that has "Yahoo" in the name and in the Control Panel.
Yahoo Toolbar messes up Location Bar Search
Remove the Yahoo Toolbar
- "Ctrl+Shift+A" (Add-ons Manager)
- Select Puzzle piece on left-side for Extensions List
- Find "Yahoo Toolbar" and click on "Uninstall" button, and restart Firefox. (if you really need to keep the Yahoo toolbar, you can hide the toolbar instead with customize, and still change all the search defaults as below)
Then to fix the default search engine used at the Location Bar, change the value of keyword.URL in about:config to one of the values shown in Location Bar search at MozillaZine.
- Google Search (Google search results page)
http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
- type in about:config into the location bar (in a new tab)
- if the warning message nonsense comes up uncheck the box before dismissing the dialog message
- filter on keyword
- right-click on keyword.URL and choose "modify" then paste in the Google search engine string of your choice.
- # filter on keyword
- right-click on browser.search.defaulturl and again choose "modify" then paste in the Google search engine string of your choice.
- right-click on yahoo.ytff.search.popup_src (if it exists) and again choose "modify" then paste in the Google search engine string of your choice, if adventurous might see if "reset" would remove and see if gone in next session (well not for those keeping the extension).
Avoiding the problems: Many software installations contain additional baggage know as crapware. The Yahoo Toolbar is packaged with Java picture
