Tools > Options (If you don't see the Tools, Just press the left Alt. key on your keyboard).

If it still reverts, I would suspect Win 10, if you are running Win 10.








/e Once you are on the Search tab as shown in the pic, you need to select Google ( or w/e search engine you like) in the drop down box.

Could be. But if you set Firefox to a certain browser it SHOULD stay that way. See the RED dots...

After trying all of the above apparently Microsoft is still trying to hijack my browser and make it Bing. :wacko:
