Although the home page of Mozilla Firefox uses the Google search engine, every time I enter something on the address bar, I get search results from Yahoo instead of the expected Google.
On the address bar, when I enter something, I would get search results from Yahoo instead of Google. I don't know how to change it as the Options under the Tools tab do not seem to have anything that changes the search engine for the address bar.

There is a hidden preference that you can change to make it use Google's browse by name search that was used in Firefox 3.6
- Type about:config into the location bar and press enter
- Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
- Locate the preference keyword.URL, double-click on it and change its value to the link shown below
http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
If after changing the preference it is still using Yahoo, there will be an add-on that is causing this. Check for any Yahoo add-ons and if not required uninstall them. If you have the freeze.com net assistant add-on, that can also cause searches to go to Yahoo, uninstall that add-on - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons
