I open Firefox. My default page for that is Google. I enter a search item (in this case "fire sprinklers for homes". I click and all of a sudden a Yahoo page full of crap that may or may not have anything to do with what I want pops up. How do I get rid of that so I get a Google page when I start with Google. If I wanted to search with Yahoo, I would have Yahoo as my default. (I had to use Chrome to get this message to you.)

hello, is your default search engine in the firefox settings still set to google? Use the Search bar in Firefox and manage search engines

please also go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > extensions & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page
