firefox forcing yahoo as default search engine
For several days now, every time I turn on my computer and open firefox, the default search engine has been reset to yahoo. I have reset it to my preferred search engine countless times now, I have even reset firefox, and frankly I am annoyed enough that if it continues I'm going to switch my default internet browser. I would like to not have to reset my preferences each and every time I go on my computer.

Try to delete the search.json file and possible search-metadata.json and search.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder to reset the search engines to the default.
Firefox will rebuild the search.json file from the default search engines in the "browser\searchplugins" folder in the Firefox program folder and the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)

If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:
