Changing from Google to Yahoo!

The desktop Firefox web browser has not come with any Yahoo search engine like it used for about 7 1/2 years now so this Yahoo you are seeing may be either due to an Extension toy installed or updated in Firefox recently or changed by some external application. That is if you did not install a Yahoo search engine into Firefox yourself.
