I don't know what happened, but the link below tells you how to change your default search engine on Firefox. Just select Google when you get to that section.

BTW, you may need to close Firefox and re-start your device when you are done.

It's a malware called myway.  I cannot find the menu to change browser; I assume this malware has disabled the functions.  There are many sites offering removal, but who knows which is on level and which is just more malware.  I have Bitdefendder installe, and emailed them last night.  Hope they get back to me.

Thanks anyway.
