Thanks for your lightning-fast response.

Your advice, which I've tried, works for me if I want Firefox to use Yahoo as my search-engine. What I would like to do is to get back to its using Google.

How do I stop Yahoo from hijacking my Firefox browser? Fix Yahoo replacing Google in your Firefox browser Settings > Addons & Themes. Remove any unknown ones. Settings > Home. Reset your homepage. Settings > Search. Reset your default search settings. Settings > Privacy & Security. Delete all cache and temporary internet files. 31 Mar 2025

Thanks again.
