How to Remove Yahoo! as a search engine in Firefox

One of the main actions we carry out when we work with our computer is to connect to the internet . We generally use this connection to access different programs and applications, but above all to browse the web in search of information or content..

 

 

Search engines are a fundamental part of web browsers since they are the ones that produce the results of the searches that we carry out as users. Each search engine has its own performance and presentation functions, but as users we have the opportunity to define which will be the default search engine to use in a browser.

 

Yahoo! It is one of these search engines which can be integrated into Firefox as an extension and from there perform searches every time we open Firefox. Although it is a popular search engine, many users do not care about its design, generation of results or perhaps its configuration options, so if you have Yahoo! As the default search engine in Firefox, TechnoWikis will explain how to remove it and set another one according to your taste..
