I avoid Google at every opportunity. Since the last upgrade, it seems to be my search engine. This is NOT acceptable. If I must use it with Firefox, I will delete my account.

Hello, navigate to about:preferences#search by typing it in your URL bar. Then click on the drop-down menu and select your preferred search engine. Did this solve your problem? If it did, mark as solution.
