I use Firefox on my laptop and have Google set as the default search engine. Recently when I search for something on Google I get Yahoo! and Bing opening in new browsers. Is there a way I can stop this? Firefox issue or a bug? My McAfee isn't detecting anything at the moment.

Type about:addons<enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager. Hot key; <Control>(Mac=<Command>)<Shift> A)

In the Add-ons Manager, on the left, select Extensions. Remove Google or Bing Anything. Now do the same in the computers Programs Folder.

Windows: Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs. Mac: Open the "Applications" folder. Linux: Check your user manual.
