Cannot return in Google search engine
I just restarted Firefox after a crash and now the search engine is set on Yahoo and I can't find a way back to Google. I've been hacked? Mozilla do that for me?
Thanks much for the reply. I'm sure I've tried all of this. After several weeks of crashes, hogging massive memory, futzing endless, given my settings changed by updates, this proved be the drop of water and I migrated to Chrome.
We had a good race, FF. All the best.

Lost all my favorites and history etc. and my google search bar does more actually my search bar does not work any search engine, I try and I can not synchronize either as I have an unknown error
After a reset, you should find a folder of old data of Firefox on your desktop. If you do not, you can recover your bookmarks and other data from it. Is this what?
On your question about your Google search bar, it's the Firefox search bar integrated with search engine selection to the bottom of the left side?
Do these search boxes work:
- Address bar (also known as URL bar)
- Firefox homepage (if you use it)
- Top of the new tab (if you use it)

Cannot change the Google search bar
In Safari, I go to Google.com and do a google search. So far so good.
Now, on the search results page, I try to edit the search in the Google search bar and nothing happens - the Google search bar is totally insensitive. To do another search, I use the address bar in Safari or reload google.com.
I have deleted history, deleted all the data of the Web site, disconnected plugins and extensions, deleted the cache via the menu Developer. I used 3 CleanMyMac to clear and reset everything. I can't solve the problem.
Safari 9.0.2 (11601.3.9)
OS X El Capitan 10.11.2
Mac Mini (late 2014)

Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select this option:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac2.Agent.plist
Right-click or Ctrl-click on the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ reveal in Finder (or just to reveal)
the contextual menu.*, a file can open with a selected item. If so, move the selected item to the trash. You may be prompted for administrator login password.

Restart the computer and empty the trash.
You may also delete one or more of these elements in the same way:
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac.helperTool.plist
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac.volumeWatcher.plist
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac3.Scheduler.plist
Never install "CleanMyMac" or something like that.

Problem seen in Google search engine.
I used Google for years without problems - I work from home as a freelance journalist. But this last few days, if I search for something on Google from IE and click on a result, I can get the page I want upward. But then, if I want to go back to the same Google search page to check the other results, I can't go back by clicking on the button 'back' at the top left, as I always did. If I click it, it just keeps returning me to the page I'm already. I find no mention anywhere using this problem or any means to remedy. If I have the cursor hover over the arrow bak, the address of the current page appears rather than the original Google search page, so there is obviously something wrong.
Thank you

At the top of the screen on a page web I generally had the address in the top field and right, there was always a Google search engine. Now that the window has disappeared and all I have is a significant window of Wikipedia and I can get Wikipedia search results. It's like they have taken over.

In the google search engine lack of research (and other) bar
A number of search engines have disappeared. I guess I can add those that I added in the past, but Google is missing and I don't know how to add.
Try to restore default search engines by selecting "Manage search engines" in the drop-down list beside the search on the address and then bar by clicking on "Restore Defaults", it will attempt to restore the default value of Google search engine to the list. You should now be able to choose Google as search engine, even if it can remove those that you added previously.

How do to block the Google search engine returns the results of the advertising?
I use currently Google as my search engine, and whenever I use it I get a rash of crap advertising unwanted at the head (top) of the search results. I know that I can update my preferences 'interests' in Google for 'target' ads, but I want to get rid of these pesky nuisances altogether.
Anyone got any suggestions outside of switch to a different search engine?
Thank you
Adblock Plus removes these ads. However, you must open its settings and both make sure that you are subscribed to a filter (simple list, that's what I use) and uncheck the "allow non intrusive advertisements.

Cannot change my Yahoo to Google search engine.
Hi all.
I have a Macbook Air, mid-2013, running OS X 10.11 (el capitan). Whenever I'm meeting in (9.0.3) Safari preferences to change the default search engine, the browser never made the change from Yahoo to Google. 'Google' appears clearly as my selection in the menu dropdown. I have not tried anything after that. Any pragmatic solution would be useful. Thank you

For some reason to ASK is become my search engine for the main home page of Firefox search bar, I want to return my search engine on Google. How is that possible?
This looks like a problem maybe caused by adware on your pc (oracle is group the ask toolbar in its critical security updates if you don't mind a disselect for example).
Please go to firefox > addons > extensions and remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, the things that you have not installed intentionally, I don't know what purpose they serve, etc.). also go to Control Panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there.
Remove a toolbar that has supported your Firefox or the homepage searchthen install the reset search addon - he'll come back more often customizations make these adware programs in default firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
