I always use google as my default search engine for firefox. I recently got a message saying firefox had been updated. Ever since, whenever I search for something it keeps using yahoo as the default search engine instead of google. I checked the settings and google IS selected as the default search engine. The weird thing is, if I set the default search engine to something like ebay or wikipedia it will use that correctly. It's just that when google is selected it goes to yahoo instead. I appreciate any help, thank you.

The desktop Firefox has not come with anything Yahoo related including the search engine since Firefox 57.0 (November 14, 2017) whether by internal Firefox update or by download from mozilla.org. A thread about this is at /forums/contributors/712925

This could be due to a extension you have installed or updated. There have been some external software that installs extensions and such into Firefox.

I see you are using macOS , not sure if there are some macOS specific things at play.
