Y'know the right-click > Search Google for...

Well, its changed to Yahoo since I stupidly installed some rubbish thing from Facebook. I've uninstalled that, but now when I right-click, it still uses Yahoo to search. How do I change this, anyone know? Or does Firefox ust use Yahoo now?

Have a look in Tools -> Option -> Applications tabs see if there's anything about yahoo in there.

see the search bar up on the top RHS of the tool bar? There will be a list of search engines, the one that is selected will be the default search engine. It is probably set to yahoo. Change it back to Google and when you do the right click it will use Google as it will be the default search engine.

I've noticed that when you open a new tab, it defaults to a Yahoo search page, so there must be a recent tie-in. New tabs were previously blank by default.

Version 3.0.13 here.
