As of a few days ago I see the my Firefox is defaulting to yahoo as the search engine when I open it. I delete Yahoo off the search engine list and set Google as my default. But when I close the browser and go back in its back to Yahoo. Any ideas?

Chosen solution

Please uninstall Firefox. Then Delete the Mozilla Firefox Folders in C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files(x86) Then restart system. Then run Windows Disk Cleanup. Then run it again and click the button that says Cleanup System Files. Note: your Firefox Profile is saved. But you should make a back up before you do :

Reinstall with Current Release Firefox 57.0.2 with a Full Version Installer

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
