• 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!

  In IE 11, Yahoo presents itself as the search engine.  I want to use Google.

  1. that Google is the default search, and
  2 yahoo Powered is shown as unavailable.

  It seems that your localization of Firefox no longer has the default Yahoo search plugin.

  Scroll down to 16. Key drivers and select the search plugin from Yahoo appropriate for your locale.

• My default search engine has been on anything other than Google. How to switch this back?

  Somehow my default search engine has been changed to Google to what is called "My Web Search". I want to switch to Google, but I can't figure out how. I disabled the plugin and removed my options of search engine in the top right, but nothing has changed.

  You have My Web Search installed; Look under Tools > Modules > Plugins. He could have grafted in on something that you have installed. Always seek and opt-out when installing other programs and Add-ons that you install from sites other than the site of Mozilla Add-ons. My search on the Web is considered malware/adware/spyware by many. You must remove it.

  Step 1. You can check if you have one of these installed ' Fun Web products ' :
  Control Panel > add or remove programs: Ask.com Bar, my search bar, of the MyWay Bar speed, my search on the Web Bar, Fun Web products Easy Installer
  See:
  http://www.safer-networking.com/removemywebsearch.php

  http://helpint.MyWebSearch.com/intlinfo/help/toolhelp.jhtml#Q3
  http://support.Mozilla.com/en-us/KB/troubleshooting+plugins#Manually_uninstalling_a_plugin

  Step 2 You may need to change a preference to reset your default URL/location bar search engine:
  -Enter Subject: config in the URL/address bar and press the Enter key
  -If you see a cautionary, accept it (promise you'll be careful)
  -Filter = keyword.url
  -Under the filter, right-click on the keyword. URL and choose "Reset".
  -Restart Firefox (file > restart Firefox)
  See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Keyword.url

  Step 3 You may need to reset your homepage. Firefox can open multiple home pages. Home pages are separated by the ' | ' symbol.
