thank you jbr! Found an extension that defaulted browsing to yahoo. i really appreciate your help!

It's almost always something shady like an addon constantly putting these back! Glad you figured out the culprit, it's great to hear these articles provide guidance to recover from similar trouble successfully. Happy to help! —J.

So you know, the desktop Firefox web browser has not come with a Yahoo search engine as one of the default search engine options since the Firefox 57.0 and on releases as there was a discussion about that here
