How in the world do I get rid of the Yahoo search engine? No matter what I do, it comes up as the default.

I've tried these: Using the search engine management in the search box 1) removed Yahoo. 2) moved Yahoo to the bottom.

I've also changed the search engine in about:config.

I don't have AVG or myfreeze.

I don't know what to try next.

My OS is Windows7 64-bit.

YOU MAY WANT TO CHECK YOUR PLUGINS AS STATED ABOVE. OR JUST TYPE "HOW TO MAKE GOOGLE MY HOME PAGE" AND JUST FOLLOW.... AND REMEMBER, ALWAYS CHECK YOUR PLUGINS. I ALWAYS HAVE FIREFOX AS MY HOMEPAGE WITH GOOGLE SEARCH. IF ALL ELSE FAILS RE-INSTALL FIREFOX AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.GOOD LUCK
