• by default Firefox search engine

  Hello, I have problems with my default firefox engine. I know how to change my default engine. I have change to Google as my default search engine in the browser bar. But every time when I restart the firefox, the default engine is automatically changed to 'firefox search engine' and using Yahoo to find things. This phenomenon has happened all of a sudden one day, and then continue to occur daily. I would like to know if there are solutions? Or I need to download Google Chrome to resolve it?

  It's fun to try other browsers. But even Google Chrome is infected by pirates of research from time to time. You will see on their forums when users install free software bundles containing options unworthy of trust.

  Since there is no 'Firefox search engine', it is certainly suspicious. Here's my method to track down and clean the bad Add - ons and other hijackers. I know it seems long, but it's really not that bad.

  (For Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10;) XP is a little different)

  (1) open the Control Panel, uninstall a program. After the loading of the list, click on the column heading "installed on" to group infections, I mean additions by date. This can help the undisclosed items bundle smoker who snuck out with some software, you have agreed to install. Beware of everything that you don't recognize / remember, since malware often uses sounding names important or innocent to discourage you remove. Out as much garbage as possible here.

  (2) open Firefox page modules using either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
  • in the Windows "Run" dialog box, type or paste
    firefox.exe "about:addons"

  In the left column, click on Plugins. Set essential and unrecognized plugins 'never enable '.

  In the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt, disable (or delete, if possible) not recognized and unwanted extensions. All extensions are optional; the troublemaker is perhaps not obvious from the name.

  Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

  Any improvement?

  (3) you can search the rest of problems with scanning/cleaning tools listed in our technical support article: Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware. These scanners on request are free and take a long time to run. If they end quickly, especially if they require the payment you have a serious infection. I suggest the specialty forums listed in the article in this case.

  At this point, Firefox keeps your default settings between sessions? If this is not... a little more to think about.

  In addition, your Firefox is identified at the forum as version 38. An update is available: this article describes how to get 49 Firefox using the "About Firefox" dialog in the menu help: Firefox update to the latest version.

  If something is holding you upgrade to Firefox 49 (or if you use the ESR, Firefox 45esr series), please let us know if we can offer you solutions or workarounds. Version 38 is not safe; Mozilla reveals security flaws after each new version.

  Sometimes Firefox reports the wrong version, because this information was frozen in a preferences file. If the troubleshooting information page shows Firefox 49.0.2, you may need to clear this incorrect information. See:
