I now suddenly have Yahoo! as my default search engine but it does not appear in Preferences anywhere - google is still set as my default browser.
Searching the computer didn't find yahoo anywhere either. Mac OS 10.11.6

Fred, I did have one add-on hotspotshield vpn which I had discounted as a nuisance because I have had this for a long time with no problems. Having removed that yahoo has now also disappeared.

Type about:addons<enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager. Hot key; (<Control> [Mac=<Command>] <Shift> A)
Remove SafeSearch, SearchAssist Incognito, FileConverter Addon, SearchLock, DiscreteSearch, WebSearch, Findwide Search Engine
Now do the same in the computer’s Programs Folder.
Windows: Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs. Mac: Open the Applications folder. Linux: Check your user manual.
Thanks Fred, but I had seen this suggestion before and tried it. I have NO add-ons and none of these programs appear in "Applications". Maybe easiest is to uninstall Firefox and re-install it. What do you think?
