A bit of confusion going on here ....

Firefox is not a search engine, but a browser - Google is Firefox'es default search engine.

However, you can set any search engine to be the default - go to :

Options => Search and set the search engine of your choice to be the default search engine.

See : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-your-default-search-settings-firefox

and in case it's relevant : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-or-remove-search-engine-firefox

Seperate issue :

Your system details show that you need to update your Adobe Flash Player - you're running an old version, which can cause problems. Would you please uninstall your current version and install the latest version, which is 30.0.0.134
