Firefox Community Forum

My Firefox browser is being redirected to Yahoo. I've tried all suggested fix solutions but no sucess. Ive unistalled and reinstalled Firefox but Yahoo redirect remains.

The same problem affected Chrome but I was able to reset the default to google and remove all the Yahoo serch engines from Chrome.

I set up firefox using my customised user.js, and I have been able to configure everything just as I want except for "Search Shortcuts".

Are there Firefox "preferences" (in the about:config "preferences" database) for the 10 or so "alternative search engine" entries (shown in about:preferences#search)? If not, is there any programmatic way that I can edit these "alternative search engine" entries so that I don't have to manually disable and/or remove them every time I install Firefox on a new machine?

TIA.
