Firefox suddenly has a new "yahoo" tab that I do not want.

I just installed Firefox 8 over 7.0.1, and there is suddenly a new tab, apparently for searching, marked "Yahoo." How do I get rid of it?

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Firefox is opening radom tabs that I do not want and chaging direction of websites when I do a search and open results in tabs to have the search results to go back easily without useing back how do I stop this from happing?

The browser opens random tabs both while I am using and will start on a random tab while I do not have it running.

With the multitude of issues you have I would take it to an Apple store or AASP and have them sort it out. Then I would sign up for Apple camp or one on one.

There are many sites in my tabs that I do not want. Using your directions, I treid to find the "pin" icon, but do not see it. What I want to know is , how do I

When I log on and Firefox opens, there are two rows of tabs. The first row are indeed sites I go to regularly, like my ban, Amazon, etc. The second row contain sites I may have visited once. How do I get rid of these?

Is one the Bookmarks Toolbar and the other the Tab Bar or is that in the browsing area (web page) and a page like the about:newtab page?
See this article about the New Tab page (about:newtab):

HT5648 OS10.6.8 Firefox 24.0 The new Yahoo mail shows no graphics. However, the new Yahoo mail displays correctly in Safari and Chrome. I believe this has to to with the settings for Javascript. Help me, please.

OS10.6.8, Firefox 24.0
The new Yahoo mail shows no graphics using Firefox 24.0 - just identical rectangles where new icons should be.\. However, the new Yahoo mail displays correctly in Safari and Chrome. I believe this has to to with the settings for Javascript. Those settings aren.t easy to access in the most recent Firefox 24.0 version. Help me, please.

The settings for Javascript are either on or off, Fireefox 24 doesn't give you a option to turn off Javascript, unless you installed something like NoScript extension (or some other Javascipt blocking add-on)
If NoScript, then you need to use the View > Toolbars > Customize and drag the NoScript "Temp Allow All" button to the toolbar area to enable all enabled scripts (including Javascript) on that web page.
Under the Firefox Help menu is a option to restart with add-ons disabled to see if something you might have installed is causing your problem.
Reinstall Firefox or create another user account and run Firefox there to try to localize your issue.
I'm having no problem here on 10.6.8 in Firefox, Chrome or Safari, Yahoo Mail works perfectly.

Firefox has always opened with an extra tab that says "server not found." How can I fix this?

Several years ago, I downloaded Firefox for the first time on my Xp machine. The browser opens to the home page, but up in the tab area, there is always, and I mean through EVERY version and upgrade since that first one, including the most recent version 4, there is a second tab just to the right of the home page tab that says, "server not found." Now, since the home page loaded, it is obvious to me that the server WAS indeed "found." what I don't understand is why this second tab is there. Any ideas? I have read through the FAQ about not finding the server, and nothing there is relevant to this, as far as I can see.

How many pages do you have set as your "homepage"? 
Firefox allows for multiple homepages in separate tabs, separated by the pipe | symbol.
Try resetting your homepage.

How to make Firefox open automatically a new, empty tab in each start? (keep last sessions as well) It will be good, because Firefox wont load the previous sessions last watched tab after start straight away, but keep my previous sessions tab as well in the browser.

New Applications that I do not want

In Nokia Suite I keep getting offered two new applications that I do not want (Microsoft apps and T-Mobile). I have three options: install, back, later. I do not want these apps. Is there any way of stopping them being constantly offered to me over Software Update?

No.. there is no way you can stop them being prompted.. There are lots of threads in this regard on this Forum and has been also reported at the Nokia Beta Labs site since long ago ...

I have some content in my library that I do not want to sync with my ipod touch. The content has previously been synced and I want to remove it without deleting it from my itunes library. Is this possible?

I have some music content in my itunes library that I do not want to sync with my ipod touch. The content has previously been synced and I want to remove it without deleting it from my itunes library. Is this possible?

Hi Pez,
iTunes in the Cloud is not iCloud. Any songs that you have purchased but have not downloaded (or have deleted), go to iTunes in the cloud. The setting I mentioned will show all of your purchases in the various views in the Music app, whether they are on your device or not. If you turn that setting off, you will only see items that are actually on your device.
Glad to hear the second sync worked! But if they all start appearing again, make sure that setting is turned off
Cheers,

When insert my lexar USB flash drive I get the message that the disk was not readable by this computer. It has worked previous to this and I do not want to lose the data by reformatting the drive. How can I reformat this drive and not lose my data?

You can't reformat it and not wipe everything on it.
Have you tried a different USB port?
Only other option, back it up on a different computer.

My ipod touch 4th generation says to connect to itunes. I did, and it says I have to restore my ipod for it to work. I have about 6,000 photos on there that I do not want to lose. What do I do?

My iPod touch 4th generation says on the screen to connect to iTunes. When i connected it to iTunes, it says i must restore my ipod for it to work. However, I have over 6,000 pictures that I've taken over the past two years that i do not want to lose. What do I do? I already tried resetting it by holding down the home/power button, that doesn't help.

Elitegate, the poster siad his iPod has the Connect To iTune screen, You can't backup the iPod when in that mode.

How can I remove photos from iPhone...when I synced to another computer, it loaded up a ton a pictures from the laptop that I did not want on my phone

Help! I have 4 different computers that I plug my iPhone 4 into from time to time. I just synced it with a laptop that I haven't plugged into for a long while, and it overloaded my phone with a ton of pictures from the computer that I did not want or need on my phone. When I went to PHOTOS on my iTunes, and checked "sync checked folders only", it says it will replace the photos on my phone. I'm not sure this is what I want...I don't want to lose the photos on my phone. I have over 3000 on there!

You can sync photos and itunes content with one and only one computer at a time. When you sync to another, it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.

Firefox suddenly has a new "yahoo" tab that I do not want.
