I want to change it back to the standard US version Yahoo! search engine. Can anyone help?

Usually there is a drop-down menu from which you can choose your default search engine. In Firefox, it's a small down arrow in the search box. It's spring. My life is weeds.

When I enter a search string and hit "search" the search engine changes to "Yahoo 7" which is Austrailia Yahoo, and does a search within Australia. There is no drop-down arrow to specify search engine.
