I do not have the Add-on 'Search Me 2.3', but Firefox is forcing me to use Yahoo search, even when I set it to Google. How can I change this please?

Firefox is forcing me to use Yahoo search, even when I've had it set to use Google for years. I read the other answer for this problem, which solved the user's problem by uninstalling 'Search Me 2.3', but that is not listed in my add-ons, so I can not delete it. How can I fix this please?

I suspect that you may need to learn about how the new Search Bar works in Firefox 34. See if anything here helps you - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/search-bar-add-change-manage-search-engines-firefox

Thank you 'the-edmeister'. You were correct, I did need to learn how the new Search Bar works. Somehow Yahoo became my homepage, and even though I had disabled all other search engines, due to that big Yahoo homepage, it looked to me like I was using Yahoo search, when I was actually using Google. I feel embarrassed for asking now. My apologies for taking your time, but thank you, as my frustration is now gone, and I will just change my home page.

Thanks Again :-)
