Unable to permanently set the default search engine
-
Hello everyone, I have a strange problem following a reinstallation of Vivaldi (I am in version 4.2.2406.48 (Stable channel) (64 bits)) : by default the search engine is set to Bing. If I change the search engine in the usual way by checking the 'set as default search engine' box for Google, everything is fine for the current session, but if I quit Vivaldi and restart it, the search engine is set to Bing again!
Thank you for your help...

@brunolailler Hello and Welcome to the Vivaldi Community
Some nasty extensions behave badly and will reset the search engine.
Please try the troubleshooting steps first:

well no, I followed your instructions and the problem is still there: on every reboot, Bing is the default search engine again!

@brunolailler You did everything on the "Troubleshooting issues" page? If so, run a virus scan. Viruses have been known to change search-engine settings.

Can you save a new bookmark and have it still be there on restart? Just wondering if maybe it can't save to disk.
