Thanks for your lightning-fast response.
Your advice, which I've tried, works for me if I want Firefox to use Yahoo as my search-engine. What I would like to do is to get back to its using Google.
Between posting my question and getting your response, however, I through a set of steps advised on a Yahoo page, and that, I see, has enabled me to get back to Firefox using Google.
Thanks for your swift help, all the same.
Regards Paul
