Where is Firefox

Hello. For some reason, whenever I do a search the response is on a "Yahoo" tab. How do I return to Firefox, as I do not want to use Yahoo? Best regards Barry Mitchell

Hi Barry

Firefox is a web browser where you can use a search engine - Firefox is not a search engine and Yahoo is not a web browser.

If you want to use a different search engine in Firefox, this support article might help:

The Firefox web browser has not come with any Yahoo search engine since the Firefox 57.0 Release as you can see a old discussion about the Yahoo search engine removal as one of the defaults in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/forums/contributors/712925

This Yahoo search could be due to a Extension you have installed or updated recently in Firefox perhaps?
