Why when I type something it keep searching it in yahoo?
I reinstalled my windows last night and it was fine before that moment. I deleted everythign related to yahoo in about:config, removed everything from searchign machines without google and it keep adding it. Is there a fix for this or it is time to dump mozilla for other browser?

That's pretty extreme. Mozilla does not have an agreement with Yahoo now
uninstall Firefox. Then Delete the Mozilla Firefox Folders in C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files(x86) Then restart system. Note: your Firefox Profile is saved. But you should make a back up before you do : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles

Reinstall with Current Release Firefox 57.0.2 with a Full Version Installer https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/
Below is to have on hand if issues, 1st is to check, 2nd to monitor if need it.
So the 2nd is to do this please : go to the Firefox 3 Bar Menu --> Options --> Privacy & Security panel and under Permissions check (put a tick in the box) the setting to Prevent Accessibility Services from accessing your browser.
Monitor in Task Manager. Should stay below 2 gigs. If excessive then do below and monitor and change if need to...Test and go up again , go back down, it will eventually get a zone you and it can live with.
Go the 3 Bar Menu then Options --> General --> Performance and untick everything. change the recommended size lower then see how it runs. Note: 1 = No Multiprocessor = slow again. Try 2 Restart Firefox after making these changes please.
It may have gotten into your Profile so if has : Please make a new Profile and test : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
