I recently downloaded firefox to try something specific, then deleted it as I prefer safari. Since then when I try to search in the address bar it automatically redirects me to yahoo, rather than google. I have set google as my default search engine. Do you know how I can stop being redirected to yahoo?
MacBook Air, iOS 8
I found the culprit! Mine was a program called "AnySearch". I found it in Preferences>>>Extensions. There was a check box checked next to it. So I unchecked it and it worked! Then for extra measure I clicked on the "Uninstall" button right underneath it. Hope this helps.
Thank u kindly 4 the info, it worked the 1st time I tried it!
Like a Charm! This was a stressful dark and gloomy cloud with no indication of light shining through. All other forums I combed through had no real solution. The second solution suggested solved the problem. I then went back to finder and deleted
~/library/preferences/com.apple.safari.plist as well as ~/library/preferences/com.apple.safari.extensions.plist
Back to blue skies. Thank you.
Thank You!!!!!!
I was getting so mad I almost started crying ...forget that last part.
I turned off SearchForView in extensions and it worked!!
Google > Yahoo
