How to get rid of browser hijacker redirect: search.yahoo.com on Firefox on my ios (iMac)

Although Google is my default browser, and the google logo appears in my search field, when I receive search results, the Yahoo logo and Yahoo search results appear. 


How do I get rid of this issue? Previous answers are from 2014 - 2017. Can anyone reply with an update answer?


Please advise. Thank you.

Hey justmachine,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!


When trying to search using your usual way of searching and seeing different results can be confusing. We'd like to help out.


Malwarebytes can take care of the redirect issue:

You can also look into changing your default search engine using Chrome:
