The question is how to change your default search engine?

If yes go menu > settings > search > and select your search engine

Could you please send a screenshot of what the "Flights" icon looks like? When you search with it what domain are you sent to (ex: Google search will use google.com) ?

If "Flights" persists as your search engine even after changing it through settings it is likely that a malicious extension is responsible. Please review your extension list to see if there are any that you don't remember installing or seem suspicious.

You can open Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode so that all extensions are temporarily disabled. After making sure your search engine is changed back to whatever you are using, see if your search engine reverts to "Flights" at any point while using Troubleshoot Mode.

Would it be possible for you to show us a screenshot of what or where you are seeing "Flights"?

A web address or the "Flights" webpage would really help us to help you.
