Firefox 34.0.5 uses Yahoo search – simple fix back to Google!
So I let Firefox upgrade to 34.0.5 and expected no changes, per their usual releases. However, the first time I typed something into my address bar I was annoyed – ew, Yahoo.com
So, if you click the magnifying glass in the “Search” field at the top of the window you’ll get a drop-down, from that there is “Change Search Settings”
Once you’ve clicked that, its blatantly obvious how to change from Yahoo back to Google, etc.
That’s it! Back to Google. Pretty simple, but confusing to find at first. When I was searching for this fix I was coming up with people adjusting the about:config portion of Firefox which lead to nothing as the item they were saying to edit doesn’t exist in 34.0.5. Anyway, that’s that!
