Firefox doesn't do this. Third party software on your system (look at downlaoders, anti-virus apps, etc.) is doing this to Firefox. Firefox's search default is Google and if it's changed by you you'll know it and if it's changed by an extension you installed it'll say so in the Search preferences. I may be able to tell you which piece of malware on your system did this to Firefox if you'll do a search for something and paste the address here so I can look at the search address parameters.
- bigbugbag 8y agoFirefox did change default search engine to yahoo at some point, IIRC it was around the time yahoo was trying to sell itself at the best possible price. I remember having to go through a dozen clients to fix their custom settings for search engines that had been switched to yahoo and eventually migrating some of them from firefox to waterfox.
