I am on a Mac. I change the browser from default to Google in the Firefox Preferences and it keeps on changing back to default when I re-boot Firefox. HELP!

I tried a short routine involving the about:addons page, but there is no Yahoo! item on the addons page that I found on your help forums from people who were having a similar problem with Yahoo.

Note: Some software, like Advanced SystemCare with Surfing Protection, can protect files in the Firefox profile folder against changes. If you have such software then check the settings or uninstall this software.

I do not have that program and don't know what other similar programs would be named.
