Why my search engine keep returning to google?
I deleted all except yahoo search engines. But now google will come up as my search engine and appears in the list of search engines. I don't want to not google. So, how can I permanently get rid of google search engine.
I deleted google several times. I've restored firefox by default several times. I uninstalled firefox to get rid of google search, then restarted my computer and reinstalled firefox from a new download. After trying all this google keeps appearing as my search engine.
Hope you can help me to get rid of google.
Thank you
When you change the search engine using the icon beside the search bar, which should "stick". Don't you think that it changes randomly, or the next time you exit and restart Firefox or notice any other model?
For problems that occur when quit them and restart Firefox, see:
- Consider if use you any utility or security software (e.g. Advanced SystemCare) who have a function like "Surf Protection", "Protection of the Home Page", etc.. These features can undo changes to your browser settings to protect you against unwanted changes - and yourself. Not always useful...

New tab uses Yahoo as search engine - how to use Google?
I changed my default Google search engine; I use version 35. When I opened a new tab and type in the search I get results in a Yahoo Search page. How can I change this so that Google is the default search for the new tab search engine.
Thank you someone to help with this.
You probably have some adware or toolbar that has changed the page used for a newtab.
- Remove a toolbar that has supported your Firefox or the homepage search
- The addon of reset of search is useful to fix this https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
The addon installs, modifies settings and to uninstall. But you may need to remove the adware or which could change the settings again.
BUT Note If you are using Firefox (American) addon resets to Yahoo as en-US search engine and you will need to manually select the Google later.Whatever the selected search engine to be used for the search toolbar must be used in other research including the address bar Firefox and the new tab.

Firefox address bar search engine keep the reset to go back home
I downloaded the Manager to go back (http://www.fileservemanager.com/) a few months ago and used it briefly before uninstalling. The program has installed a toolbar by default, and I made sure to remove this too quickly. The problem I have is that the search engine for my URL guard bar reset to fileservehome.com whenever I start Firefox. I can reset the password key. URL about: config, but whenever I start FF he changes back. I tried searching for 'back' in the subject: config search bar but nothing happens. I deleted all the files on my computer with the word go back in there and I ran malware bytes multiple times. I restarted firefox with no extensions running and it still happens. I am running Firefox 4 and may not know how to fix this shit. I don't want to switch to Chrome, but it might be my only option if I can't understand it... If you have an idea on how to fix it please let me know!
had the same problem and found a good solution I've done has been
It's on a windows 7
Reach
My computer-> C:-> users-> (name of your computer)-> AppData (hidden folder)-> Roaming-> Mozilla-> Firefox-> profile-> .default (random alphanumeric combination)ex. C:\Users\Elli\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\89rnmjg8.default
It's mine, Elli and 89rnmjg8.default will be different
here find user.js open it with Notepad or some other advanced editor (Notepad or ultraedit) inside you will see the annoying url of fileservetoolbar change to your desired url and save mine was
http://www.Google.com/search?btnG=Google+search & q =
(of the query, not the lucky thing of feeling generic google search)
Note that you must change there the next time you want to change it, you cannot change it to about: config, if I discovered how change it I'll tell you, maybe you can uninstall firefox and remove all files related firefox there are like all profiles and stuff and start from scratch.

Hi Christine,
You should never run two anti antivirus on the same machine applications because they will be in conflict. It should really be a case of 'either' McAfee or Microsoft Essential.

How can I get rid of Claro search? He turned to Google.
How can I get rid of this very delicate malware? It has hi-jacked and Google search according to the very limited online feedback, it is very difficult to get rid of and "advice" often try to sell me an antivirus software. I tried the obvious things: uninstall - searched and no sign of her, and then controls, no sign of him, then do tools > Options > settings > search engines and return default Google and guess what... Claro still Hi-jcks Google and is apparently very busy reading this? Help...
Thanks a lot Gordon for your very quick response and recommendation. I don't know how Claro exceeded my NORTON antivirus, but it did. Embarrassed, after hours of almost panic, I think I got rid of Claro due to the intervention of my wife! She suggested restoration! Before smile you, I have been a prisoner of MSN since the days of Babbage and have always found that RESTORE never worked but this time he did! I had a look at RESTORE points earlier and noticed a glut of Microsoft "Security emergency" updates, I went beyond 7 days and after 7 minutes, I was incredibly «back to normal from Microsoft» I now check these security updates "Urgent" and install them manually - I can't be sure if this is how Claro snook in but remember that Sherlock Holmes said about the search for truth? Interestingly, I read that Gmail stops then how is it that they know about it and my blank mail does not have this malware? However, on your recommendation, it is fully appreciated and kept in reserve (only free for 24 hours - I'll, "keep my powder dry!" for now at least). I reported my findings to Norton. Our technicians use AVG and often tell me to abandon NORTON, I fit and arrived next renewal Bill is going to say goodbye - I guess that the loyalty is blind? My only concern is is that Claro mess with its records... I can't be sure if Claro is dormant and waiting to be resurrected by the time, or "trigger". Aside: you don't say that you are a student, if you're looking for a qualification, keep up the good work and best wishes for your future. To paraphrase Darwin: "is not intelligence that leads to success, it's the ability to adapt", I benefited by adapting to the advice of my technophobe wife, now apparently I have her other pair of shoes! Yours gratefully, O.

Why do Google so difficult to choose as a search engine
Please Microsoft change your search engine page and place Google.co.uk returned as a search engine tool to replace Live search. I used and shown IE many students over the years. My place of work (a University) disappeared now for IE 8 and suddenly I can't easily choose Google as my default search engine. My DSi offers Google Chrome and Firefox like search engines alternative so my students will see me using them in the future...
It is not difficult to define Google or another default search engine, you can visit:

And chose the search you want and make default for Google:

Why Firefox is more my search engine?
Until today, when I went to refresh Firefox because of the slow and hanging up, Firefox has been my search engine and my browser. I've never seen more Google or Yahoo and was happy about that I won't use any of them. All I saw was Firefox. How is it now I see that my search engine Yahoo? I don't want to! I have Mozilla Firefox as my browser and the start page but also want as my search engine. Please advise!
Now, the point is that you've never used Firefox or Norton. Because they are not search engine. So maybe you have been followed.
Now, to be honest, almost every search engine keeps some of your data. However you can give a try to DuckDuckGo who may not be as much effective, but it does not track your data.
Use in Firefox search bar will help you define DuckDuckGo search engine. -
