How do I change my searches from Yahoo back to Google?

I use Mozilla regularly as a browser but may have to resort to something else as this search business is getting on my nerves.
I'm a long-term fan of Google which in my opinion, and the opinion of countless others is the best search engine on the market. The AVG Security toolbar though, despite it's claims of being a "security toolbar", interferes with search settings and installs utter rubbish by the name of "Yahoo". I want to remove Yahoo entirely and block and future installs from it.
I've tried "about:config" and types google on the provider names, but it seems AVG have gone one step further. When I type Google in, it reverts straight back to Yahoo. Apparently they have seen fit to try and remove any choice the user have.
Is this even legal? I can find no means of removing or disabling it, and Yahoo keeps popping back up for my address bar searches. It's quite simple. Yahoo sucks and we dont' want it...

See if this helps. Set the AVG default search engine. http://www.avg.com/special-toolbar-how-to-disable-search-tlbrf.tpl-mcr1 
You may then need to reset keyword.URL in '''about:config'''. See:

How do you change the search engine used in the address bar?

I use the address bar to search, instead of the actual search bar field. Why? It's easier. Or, it used to be. It used to use Google. Now it's using Yahoo!. This is unacceptable. Haha. How do I change which search engine is used in the ADDRESS bar?

had this problem after accidentally downloaded the yahoo toolbar along with an adobe product. Firstly, tried to remove it control panel in add/remove programmes but it refused to uninstal. Since then was told by technicians of my ip to use Revo uninstaller the free ed. Next step was go to tools then options. On the general tab, at the bottom you will find manage-add-ons. under search provider do not want. f yahoo is still there disable it.
Also go to internet options in control panel and set up there too. Be sure to find and tick the option that other search engines cannot change yours. Be sure to set the appropriate home page.

How do I change the default from CS6 to Photoshop CC when I open a photo from Bridge CC?

Thank you. That works when I double click a RAW image, (opens in ACR then when I open from there it goes to CC) but when I double click a jpg it goes straight to CS6. I'm hoping there is a way to change the default, but haven't found yet. I don't want to remove CS6.

Do you still have your Aperture Slideshow project? Then open the slideshow and select the one of the green audio file clips in the film strip that you want to replace. Press the "delete" key and drag another audio file from the Media Browser directly onto the slide, where the sound should start.

Hi
You can change the valuation method, but for that you need to have zero physical stock for that item.
Make a Goods issue entry for that Item for all the warehouses, change the method and make goods receipt entry for that item for all the warehouse.
