Do not let me choose Google as my search engine of Safari

I've just updated my OS from 8.5 to 11.5 on my macbook pro, so the next update this morning.  I'm in Safari preferences, choose Google as my search engine and it always goes to yahoo.

He also made in Firefox.

Looks like you have adware or malware on your computer.  You have two options available to remove it:

  • Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware for Mac.  It was developed by an employee trust and respected here.  It's a simple, non - intrusive program that removes malware known/adware from your hard drive.  That's all that.  It does nothing and is not take anything else.
  • Follow the instructions provided in this Apple support article to manually remove-> http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203987

Go to your preferences for Safari and Firefox and uninstall all extensions, install only those you can get from the Gallery of Safari Extensions or from the Mozilla site.  After you do all this, then you can go back in these preferences and redefine your search engine on Google.

    You can try to update Firefox and create a new profile.

    When you refresh/Reset Firefox then created a new profile and some personal data (bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, data form) are automatically imported.
    The current profile folder will be moved to "Old data Firefox" folder on the desktop.
    Installed extensions and other customizations (toolbars, Pref.) that you have made are lost and must be redone.

  • How to set Google as default search engine in Firefox 5? I tried several fixes, but I get a Yahoo instead of Google search.

    I want to use Google as my search engine, but no matter what I change the default search engine settings is still Yahoo.

    I would also like to have the track back feature when I opened a new tab, it shows often used pages that I can click on and open.

    First of all, thanks to dmcritchie. His solution was helpful. However, I didn't uninstall my Yahoo Toolbar because I have buttons, bookmarks, etc. that do not migrate.

    For those of you, like me, who want to continue to use your Yahoo toolbar as well as the use of the Google toolbar, here's another solution:

    Rather than uninstall the Yahoo toolbar just hide it. Go to the command bar, select view > toolbars > then uncheck Yahoo toolbar. (See first image)

    Then...

    1. Open a new tab.
    2. Go to the address bar and type auto: config and press the Enter key.
    3. A warning box appears. Close the box by clicking on the button "I'll be careful, I promise". (See the second picture)

    When the text comes up,

    1. Scroll down until you find "browser.search.defaulturl" it will be in bold. Third image, with the selection highlighted by me)
    2. Right click and select the first option which should be "modify", then
    3. Type (or copy and paste) the following:
    http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
    

    Then,.

    1. Scroll down until you find "keyword." URL"it will be in bold.
    2. Right click and select the first option which should be "modify", then
    3. Type (or copy and paste) the following:
     http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
    

    Finally,.

    1. Scroll down further until you find "yahoo.ytff.search.popup_src" again, it will be in bold.
    2. Right-click on the expression, and then select 'Edit'.
    3. Type (or copy / paste) in the following:

    http://www.Google.com/search?ie=UTF-8 & oe = UTF-8 & q =

    1. Close the tab

    And you're done.

    This will allow you to keep all the buttons and bookmarks you have in your Yahoo toolbar without side effects unpleasant to have Yahoo away your research and give you the darned Search 404 error pages.

    I hope this helps.

    PS while you make changes to the configuration: automatic, be sure to copy the values that you are editing in a Word Pad document for later retrieval. Be clear about what "preference name" you have accessed and what 'value' you changed. " In this way, if necessary, you can always go back and everything returns to its previous state. I titled my document "Firefox AboutConfig Changes".

    Good luck!

  • How to change Mozilla.cfg to set google as default search engine

    Need help with our setting mozilla.cfg file to change the default to yahoo search engine to google.
    Browser.search.defaultenginename in comments: config already has the default value of 'google', so doesn't justing adding this line of modzilla.cfg - ' pref ("browser.search.defaultenginename", "google", as its currently by default.)

    I noticed that if I manually change the search provider (thru the interface), then this value changes from 'default' to 'user set', which retains google as the default search engine. So how do I either set this value as 'user set' within mozilla.cfg, or use some alternative?

  • How can I replace Yahoo by Google as default search engine?

    I have Firefox 33.1 and 8.1 of Windows and don't like NOT Yahoo. Google had boxes which remembers fave sites, and Yahoo is not. I prefer Google and that's why I stayed with Firefox. Yahoo has resumed and requires a lot of other strikes/work to get where I'm going. HELP make Yahoo go!

    This addon is very simple, it was written by a Mozilla engineer and will just reset all search preferences to their default value, google. It's a quick and easy way to do what you can do that manually. It allows you to uninstall then himself.

  • How keep Google as a search engine on Firefox startpage, any search engine is in the upper drop box right?

    When I change the search engine in the upper search box right (to let's say Wikipedia), the search engine in the middle of the homepage Firefox changes accordingly. I don't want to do (I want to pin it to Google). How to do?

    The current versions of Firefox use the search engine that is selected in the search bar (click the search engine icon to open the drop-down list) on the Navigation bar for research via the address bar and for the search engine on the subject: homepage.

    If you want to use different search engines, then you can install the extension of search by keyword to specify with search engine to use for the search and address bar which engine to use for the topic: homepage via Windows Options/preferences of this extension, accessible via the on: addons page (Firefox > Add-ons).

Today (07/02/13), he came in normal mode, but in both modes, the default engine which is google which is normally found in the center of the page above the search box on the web isn't here.
