I noticed this evening that my search engine was Yahoo in stead of Google. I changed it back to Google and later closed the browser and then opened it again and it had switched me back to Yahoo again. I had also noted a toolbar a day or 2 ago that showed Yahoo. I think it was called Obit. I shut it off. I went in to manage add-ons, etc. I noticed this Obit thing and completely removed it and restarted my computer. The Yahoo search engine is back again. How do I get rid of this forever?

thanks Maurice Cowden

Hi cowdenff,

You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article Search bar - add, change and manage search engines on Firefox. I'd also be sure that you remove that Obit addon completely and the Yahoo! toolbar if it's installed as well.

If that doesn't work you should look at the article Preferences not saved.


Hopefully this helps!
