Google is selected in my search bar. When I search for something via the address bar it goes to Yahoo.

Avast is my virus checked and I have a feeling that's causing it. Sometimes when doing a virus scan it says something about malware found and I think it then sets the search to Yahoo. Not sure why. If i drill down in the search bar the first option is "Yahoo (Avast)", second is "Yahoo", then google is a few notches down.

Would appreciate any help!

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
