I use Google as my default browser in Firefox. On Thursday the 31 August 2017 when using Google it sent me to Yahoo search engine. I am not aware that I did anything. How can I undo this?

Chosen solution

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 “ Yahoo “ Anything. Also look for SafeSearch, SearchAssist Incognito, FileConverter Addon, SearchLock.

Now do the same in the computer’s Programs Folder.

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