Thank you for your question about the search change, there has been alot of exciting news and we are happy to assist you.

What changed? In the local en-US all default search engines will be changed to Yahoo, in Russia Yandex Search will become the default search and in China, Baidu will continue to be the default search. However all other searches will still be available in these regions. You will see this change in version 34.

Would you like to know more about the change? See the blog post Chris made about the [New Search Strategy for Firefox: Promoting Choice & Innovation https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2014/11/19/promoting-choice-and-innovation-on-the-web/] and the News Release [Yahoo and Mozilla Form Strategic Partnership https://blog.mozilla.org/press/2014/11/yahoo-and-mozilla-form-strategic-partnership/]

Do you want to change the Search? Please see how to change the search menu: [Search bar - add, change and manage search engines on Firefox http://mzl.la/MOtkQ0] search prefs 34 or https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/gal.../19894

What this means is that the functionality of the search did not change, just the default search engine. If you have any other questions, we are happy to help.
