it conflicts with my ghostery software. if i can not get rid of yahoo, i will have to remove and reinstall firefox. i want to avoid this because it will cause me to lose my bookmarks.
thank you in advance.

Hi gunnermac,
You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]]. Your homepage might have been changed by a particular site. Sites like MSN, Yahoo, etc have been know to ask to become your homepage.
There are steps in that article to reset your homepage preferences to default. I would try that first to clear out any strangeness. If that works, you can try setting your homepage again to your personal preference.
If Yahoo has been set as the default search in the search bar, you should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[Search bar]].
If the address bar search has been changed as well, you might want to take a look at [[Location bar search]].
If that doesn't work you should look at the article [[Preferences are not saved]].
Finally, your issue may be because you've been hit with some [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Is%20my%20Firefox%20problem%20a%20result%20of%20malware?s=malware&r=0&e=sph&as=s#w_how-do-i-get-rid-of-malware Malware].
Hopefully this helps!

  • How do i remove yahoo from firefox?

    I downloaded a screen saver and after installing it I ended up with a Yahoo search page every time I start Firefox.
    It is not in my plugins or addons so I can't remove it there.
    It is not in my list of installed programs so I can't uninstall it.
    I have reinstalled Firefox and it is still there.
    How can I remove it?

  • How does one remove content from iPod/iPhone using iTunes 11

    Well, I can more or less get content on my mobile devices with iTunes 11 (managed manually, as I've always done).  How do I get it off?  I have a series of files formatted as audiobooks (continuing education). I put them on my iPhone (for in the office) and iPod (in the car to work).  Now I'm done - and can't get them off.  Going on the Music app doesn't allow me to remove an audiobook, and that's never been an option on the iPod.  When I try to do it through iTunes, I get the following:
    Pod:  I can at least FIND the files on "On This iPod", but cannot find any option to delete (and I tried both del and command-del).  I ended up having to set it up to sync, which I dont like as I typically (for space issues) keep my audiobook library on an external disk - anything I put on the Pod has to stay on the hard drive till I finish listening to it.
    Phone:  I can't view the content on the phone other than apps.  Via iTunes, I can't even see what's there, much less do anything with it.
    Am I missing something?  There seems to be no option to manually manage media anymore - I can't do it without syncing, and that requires me to leave everything on my hard drive indefinitely.
    If anyone's found a solution I missed (other than the process to revert back to 10.7, that is), I;d appreciate a point in the right direction.  Mahalo!

    Books

    To remove Audiobooks depending on the type of Audiobook ie a series of mp3 files you will find under music and probably have to deselect the album name to remove it. I don't have any of these as I download from Audible or I use Audiobook Builder to stictch together mp3 files into m4b files. To find these Click on Books you will immediately see a section for books (in reality ebooks). Scroll down past that and you will see Audiobooks where you can select and deselect. Deselect the required Audiobooks and Click Sync

  • How does one remove dates from pictures?

    I accidentally set my camera to show the date on each picture. When I uploaded the pictures to my computer, I am unable to remove the dates from each picture. Is there a way to do this without having to use a "blemish" tool?
    Thanks in advance!!

    You can not - you had the camera include the date as a part of the image so the only way to remove it is to retouch it out with a photo editing program - it is no different than removing a power line or a person from the photo - it is part of the image

    How does one remove temporary files from Safari?  A friend logged on to her Facebook account using my iMac running Mac OSX 10.7.5 and Safari 6.1.6.  Now I can't remove her e-mail address from my computer.  When I open Facebook her address shows in the user button.  I do not have a Facebook account.  It was suggested to me that I try clearing temporary files from Safari but I can't find anything that tells me how to do this.  Are temporary files the same as the cache?  It also was suggested that I try clearing Safari cache.  How do I do that?

    Check Safari/Preferences/Passwords to see if the Facebook account is there. If so, select it and remove it. If you are still having problems, Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. If that doesn't work, Safari/Reset Safari.

  • How does one remove duplicate versions of the same songs on an iPhone5?

    How does one remove duplicate versions of the same songs on an iPhone5?

    Yes, I use Live Bookmarks.
    This is the RSS http://www.ctech.com/forum/rss.php
    Each of those entries at the RSS site show up in my Firefox RSS folder twice. The content of each entry when I go to it is exactly the same. It's not that one is the reply to the original post or anything like that. For instance, see the attached image of the list of items that show up. The highlighted yellow on top is an example. Both of those links display exactly the same original post and replies. Why is that? Is is possible that somehow I'm subscribed twice? Does that make sense? How can I delete the duplicates, or for that matter, clear all those items that show on the list? I just want to see the new ones. Thanks.

    I realized there was a super-easy solution to find the uninstall function to uninstall ProTools. i simply typed in uninstall protools in the internal search field (the one in the top right corner). Viola, there was the uninstall window and click, the software was gone. super easy!

    How does one copy songs from an iPod nano to a new computer?

    You can't add any iOS to a Nano since it doesn't run iOS.
    For iTunes purchased music connect to your computer and in iTunes go to File > Transfer purchases.
    For non-iTunes music you will need 3rd party software. Assuming you have a Windows computer try Yamipod.

    Probably for a long time.  Occasionally, there will be a hiccup or a glitch, and closing then reopening the app usually fixes it.  If not, then a restart or a reset might.  After that, you may need to reset settings or try further troubleshooting.  In the worst case scenario, you can always make a backup then restore the backup, since the restore process acts as a 'filter', or even restore as new and test your issue.
    Basic Troubleshooting Steps when all else fails
    - Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear.  (For iOS 6, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
    - Relaunch the App and try again.
    - Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    - Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
    - Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
    - Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
    - Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
    - Test the issue after each step.  If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.
