In android Firefox you can set the search engine .... that is the only one I use but others should be abut the same for those choices.....Settings/Search

Probably not much help

If your default search engine(Google) keeps changing to Yahoo suddenly when you traditionally use Chrome, Safari, or Firefox to surf the web, your computer is likely afflicted with malware. The best solution is to reset your browsers settings. This should stop the Yahoo redirect virus from obstructing your browser

You can download it free and use it to check for viruses.
I've had it for several years.
Easy to use and no cost.

Google Malwarebites and look for the free edition
