if you go into about:config and manually set it to yahoo in
browser.search.selectEngine, it works, but you have to go in there to do it.

The default search engine is stuck on Yahoo, and I cannot change it or remove it. If I remove it under "Manage search engines" it comes right back. If I try to modify it under about:config browser.search.defaultenginename: it always reverts to Yahoo no matter what I do. Please help!
