</p>I do indeed have that Add-On! I'll keep it turned off until further notice.
Thank you so much.

</p>That seems the most likely explanation.

Redirects sometimes sneak into unrelated add-ons, unfortunately. Yesterday, someone on Reddit mentioned that "Ratings Preview for YouTube" has this problem, for example.
</p>Whenever I put something in, it always says "Search with Google".
After using Safe Mode for a few mi2020-02-19T23:36:21-08:00bas_nitschhttps://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1280315#answer-1291914<p>Whenever I put something in, it always says "Search with Google".
</p><p>After using Safe Mode for a few minutes, there haven't been any redirections to Yahoo. So it must be one of my Add-Ons, then?
</p>Before you submit the search, what does Firefox say it plans to do with your input? For example:
s2020-02-19T23:16:48-08:00jscher2000https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1280315#answer-1291907<p>Before you submit the search, what does Firefox say it plans to do with your input? For example:
</p>
<ul><li> shows a URL and says "Visit"
</li><li> says "Search with Google" (or other search engine)
</li></ul>
<p>Could you test in Firefox's Safe Mode? In its Safe Mode, Firefox temporarily deactivates extensions, hardware acceleration, any userChrome.css/userContent.css files, and some other advanced features to help you assess whether these are causing the problem.
</p><p><em>If Firefox is not running:</em> Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox. (On Mac, hold down the option/alt key instead of the Shift key.)
</p><p><em>If Firefox is running:</em> You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
</p>
<ul><li> "3-bar" menu button &gt; "?" Help button &gt; Restart with Add-ons Disabled
</li><li> (menu bar) Help menu &gt; Restart with Add-ons Disabled
</li></ul>
<p>and OK the restart.
</p><p><em>Both scenarios:</em> A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (<em>not</em> Refresh).
</p><p>Any improvement?
