Just a few days ago, my default google search engine changed to Yahoo. My preference settings are set to Google and it's still going to Yahoo. It seems like it's stuck on the Yahoo search engine for some reason, and I didn't change it.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this issue? This has become quite annoying and frustrating.
