I cannot keep Google Search has my default search engine. I reset it in the Firefox preference and each time, I get Yahoo! as the search engine. Why???? I've checked add-ons, etc. and there is no Yahoo! extension, etc. that I can find to remove.

Refer to this solution: Go to the 3-bar menu => Addons => Extensions and look for any unfamiliar or suspicious looking extensions, like e.g.:
