Can I remove the yahoo toolbar, it contains things that I will never use?

I have just installed the latest Firefox. The result of this has been the introduction of a new and extended Yahoo toolbar that contains what I think are APS egFACE BOOK. I will never use any of these and so they are just glueing up the screen with rubbish. Also Yahoo is trying to mimic any Google search that I do and is so confusing me. Deleteing Yahoo seems the answer that I need.

I downloaded the new version of Firefox from the screen that automatically appeared when I sign onto mozilla. There has been a yahoo toolbar at the top of my screen for a few years, but it has been very discreet and never active. This new one stands out like Blackpool illuminations and tries to mimic anything I do with Google. Also as I said, it contains what I think are aps that I don't want and will never use. So the whole thing is both confusing and annoying. I just want to be able to use Google and nothing else.

  • How can I remove the Yahoo toolbar?

    I just upgraded to Firefox 4 and I would like to remove the yahoo toolbar because its just a waist of space any help would be appreciated thanks.

    I found this online and I hope it helps
    There are two ways to remove the Yahoo! Toolbar for Mozilla Firefox.
    The easiest way is to use the "Uninstall" menu item:
    Click the Pencil menu.
    Click "Uninstall".
    Enter any feedback you'd like to send to Yahoo! about why you're uninstalling the toolbar.
    Click "Uninstall".
    Restart your browser.
    If that doesn't work, you can also use the Extension Manager in Firefox to remove the Yahoo! Toolbar extension:
    Click the "Tools" menu in the Firefox browser.
    Click the "Extensions" menu item.
    In the Extensions Manager window scroll until you find the Yahoo! Toolbar extension.
    Click the Yahoo! Toolbar extension.
    Click "Uninstall".
    Click "OK" in the "Uninstall Yahoo! Toolbar" window.
    Exit Extensions Manager and restart your browser.
    Either one of these methods will uninstall Yahoo! Toolbar from your browser. If neither works, your user profile is corrupt. You might need to create a new user profile for your browser.

  • How can I find the yahoo toolbar which contains "identity safe" which contains all of my passwords?

    I can't find the yahoo toolbar which included identity safe, where all my automatic passwords were located.

    While Finder is active, press Command-F (Find in the File menu).
    In that window you can set search criteria. In the second sub-toolbar should be a couple of buttons representing pulldown menus; by default, the first usually shows "kind". Click that one.
    In the menu that opens, if "Size" or "File Size" is not available, select "Other". Then in the new window select "Size" or "File Size" and okay the window. From then on that choice will be available in the first pulldown menu.
    You can use that to search your drive.
    Note - by clicking the "+" button at the far right of the strip containing the pulldown menus, you can add additional search criteria, thus restricting a search to exactly what you want.

  • I cannot remove the Yahoo toolbar. it does not appear as an add on

    I have the latest version of Firefox (33.1). I want to remove the yahoo toolbar and disable the yahoo seach function from the address bar (and replace it with google). But when I go to add ons, there is no yahoo in either the plug ins or extebsions. So I cannot delete/remove. What should I do
    Thanks

    It might just be that your search bar (the bar to the right of the address bar) is set to Yahoo, try changing it back to Google. To do that, on the search bar click the icon or the down triangle to display the list of search engines, and select Google from that list.
    If that doesn't fix your problems, did you download Firefox from the official Mozilla site? Sometimes if you search on Google or any search provider, they sometimes have "Advertised links" which are sometimes Firefox bundles that have been slightly modified/shipped with malicious software.
    * https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
    * https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    If you did download from a different website and believe that to be the cause, you can report the link here:
    * https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/legal/fraud-report/
    Check your list of install programs in Windows - Control Panel > Programs and Features. Usually malware comes bundled with other applications, so if you sort by date and see several applications installed at the same day, it may be easier to find suspicious applications that way.
    You can try the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Search Reset Tool]. It is an extension that will reset your home page, new tab and search settings back to the default then uninstall itself. If you find that its changes are being undone, please see the article [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
    If none of the above work, and you don't have too many extensions, you can also try the Reset Firefox feature which can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information. '''Note:''' After resetting Firefox, you will lose any extensions, toolbar customizations, and some preferences. See the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article for more information.

    Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.

    I have Iphone 4, version 4.3.3 (8J2) How can i remove the brightness toolbar from the main page, below the applications above the shorcuts?

    There is no brightness toolbar unless your iPhone is jailbroken.  If so, you can try to restore to remove the JB.
    The only place brightness exists is under Settings.

  • How can I remove the 'apps' toolbar (the one below the bookmarks toolbar)?

    '''In FF4, how can I remove the 'apps' toolbar?'''
    (My computer screen is now smaller than before due to this new black strip. A 'right click' doesn't help. the "+" on the left only takes me to 'conduit'. I am not interested in this feature at all.)
    Thanks, Reg.

    I had the same problem and was able to remove the empty apps bar by doing the following:
    1. Click on Tools in Mozilla; 2. Click on Add-Ons; 3. Click on Extensions; 4. Look for an add-on called Conduit app; 5. Click to the right of Conduit app to Remove Conduit App; and 6. Restart Firefox: hooray - it's gone!

  • I have a power pc (g5) computer that I will soon be replacing with a current i5 or i7 mini. How do I transfer the Time Machine files from the internal hard drive on the G5 to an external drive that I will later use with the Mini?

    I have a Power PC G5 computer that I will soon be replacing with a current i5 or i7 Mini. How do I transfer the Time Machine files from the internal hard drive on the G5 to an external drive that I will later use with the Mini?

    Hi, likely the easiest is to just poll the drive & get something like this...
    Get MacScan...

    But if you have a good external drive already, just clone it.

  • Apps that came on the phone that I will NEVER use...

    Is there anyway to delete apps on my phone that I will never use that were loaded on when I received it, ie Google Play Books, Music Hub, Google Play Music...?????

    @mdram4x4...I don't know what is considered good battery life, but if I had to guess, maybe 6 - 8 hours...there is no way of telling anymore because when I am work and in the car my phone is charging...I have a pretty good routine going because I do have chargers, but I DO turn my phone off at night...my GPS is only on when I need to use it and I am typically on work/home network...does the battery carry a memory????  I hope not because I was under the impression that it had a Lithium-ion battery and that they weren't like the NiCad.  Even with all of this said, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this phone!

  • I want to remove the yahoo toolbar that was added when I updated Adobe Flash. Neither Yahoo or Firefox provides info that works.

    I want a simple way to remove the Yahoo Tool bar.

    Have you tried un-installing that Yahoo Toolbar extension from Firefox?
    Tools > Add-ons > Extensions <br />
    Locate that extension in the list, and click on it. You should see an '''Uninstall''' button, use it, and then restart Firefox.

  • Why does the Yahoo toolbar which contains my frequently accessed websites keep disappearing from the Firefox browser?

    I recently discovered that I could customize a toolbar to hold all my favorite websites and I could thereby reach these sites with one click. A marvelous feature when it's there, but all the icons keep disappearing. I can get them back by downloading the Yahoo toolbar AGAIN and restarting my computer AGAIN, but that's more trouble than typing the URLs to begin with. There's got to be a better way.

    I agree, this is very frustrating! Sometimes it loads with no problems, sometimes it doesn't. I have AT&T/Yahoo and really miss the toolbar icons to get to my favorite sites! I hope this can be corrected soon!

  • How can I REMOVE the Yahoo! tab from the menu bar? Each time I open Firefox, I get the gialogue box asking if I want to make yahoo the default and each time I respond no and check the do not ask this question again.

    I am tempted to remove Ff4 and revert to 3.X if I cannot fix this problem. The question (statement) has all pertinent details already included

    '''Hello peacefultrev,'''
    I believe from your question you wish to remove the window title-bar, while keeping the menu bar available.
    I have two solutions for you to try. One requires no plugin and the other requires the installation of a plugin.
    '''No plugin option:'''
    This option hides the the window title while also removing the menu bar. The menu bar can then be reactivated and viewed simply by pressing "Alt" which shows the menu bar until you click away from it. To do this:
    # Right click on the tab bar and disable "Menu Bar".
    # Whenever you which to use the menu bar, tap "Alt" on your keyboard.
    # When you click away from the menu bar the windows title will disappear until you tap "Alt" again.
    '''Plugin Option:'''
    You can download this plugin called [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hide-caption-titlebar-plus-sma/ Hide Caption Titlebar Plus] which can be customized to suit your needs. I cannot provide support on this plugin as I have not used it myself.
    I hope one of these solutions will suit your needs.
