Firefox is a web browser and not a search engine while the Yahoo you are seeing may be as a search engine in Firefox.

The desktop Firefox web browser has not come with a Yahoo search engine since Firefox 57.0 as there was a discussion about this here.

Perhaps a extension you installed or updated recently in Firefox has added a Yahoo search engine.
