    So for some reason when I updated Firefox, it made yahoo my default browser or search engine. Yahoo sucks. I go into settings and click on google to be my browser, but low and behold it is still yahoo. I'm obviously doing something wrong, but have no clue what it is. Any thoughts?

    Check your extension and make sure yahoo did not install one that is overriding your default

    Mac or pc?

    I've had this happen but can't remember what I did. Think when mine did it some site installed some new menu bar that used yahoo. If remember right I uninstalled that and it took care of it. So check and see if some new program or something got installed.

    I suck with computers. I don't even know where to begin looking to know if something was installed. I went to add/remove programs and there is nothing there yahoo'ish.

    This might work.



    Edit: I just noticed that you said you were using Firefox. Video might not help.
