You don't have to remove it. Type about:preferences#search<enter> in the address bar. Then pick whatever engine you want as the primary.

Wow Thanks. I feel so silly.
Just to clarify, my problem was not the box of 'One click search engines' but the setting in - 'Choose the default search engine to use in the address bar and search bar.'
One final point of note if it helps others.
I use McAfee Live Safe Anti Virus which contains a feature called "Secure Search" it is this McAfee "Secure Search" which was taking me to "https://uk.search.yahoo.com/search?fr=mcafee&type=.... "
Its pretty rubbish though, the results are just not relevant to the search query.
Thanks Again.
Glad to help. Safe Surfing.
