Mine defaults to Yahoo, which is exactly what you'd expect from the Firefox Search app. It's just a launcher intent that was registered when you installed Firefox.

Here's the help article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/search-firefox-instantl...

According to the bottom box on that page, your search history should have been cleared from the steps you took. Sounds like a bug.

edit: you can prove this to yourself by going to Settings -> Apps -> Firefox, scrolling down to the "Launch By Default" section and clicking the "Clear Defaults" button. The next time you drag up from the bottom, your phone will ask you what you want to launch by default (assuming you still have other launchers, e.g. the Google App installed).

I'm on a Verizon HTC M8 running Android 4.4.4. Mine only allows Google.
Oneplus One 4.4.4, only Google.
