On the left, there's a list of settings. Click on Default Browser and change it back to Google.
Also notice there's a Search Engine setting. Yahoo also might have changed this, so check on that.

Tricky old bugger, that Yahoo! I guess that's how it's lasted so much longer than all those other ancient browsers.
