  • Some how Yahoo toolbar got installed and I don't know how to get rid of it. Can anyone help?

    I probably downloaded an update to some program and the yahoo toolbar came attached.

    You must be watchful when installing/updating free software (and sometimes software that you pay for). The image below shows the opt-out for Yahoo Toolbar when installing Java; sometimes the opt-out is not as obvious.

  • I can't click below the toolbar .half inch to 3inch from right to left. all words or letters are not working. please help to resolve this problem. thanks!

    Everytime I open firefox, all words or letters below the toolbar half inch to 3 inch from right to left are not clickable(not working). but they are working or clickable on google crhome or internet explorer. please help to resolve this problem. thanks!

    The '''''Yahoo! Toolbar''''' and the '''''Babylon''''' extension have been reported to cause that problem. They seem to invisibly extend downward over the top of the web page display area. Disable or uninstall those add-ons.

  • I really would like to know how to totally remove Yahoo toolbar from my Firefox browser as well as my computer. I don't like those special toolbars at all.

    I really would like to know how to totally remove Yahoo toolbar from my Firefox browser as well as my computer. I don't like special toolbars at all. I find it irritating that you included one in the newest version of your browser. In the future I would hope you would leave this or any other out. Firefox used to be my favorite browser to use, now I am not going to want to use it because of the extra toolbar. Please tell me there is a way to remove this, not just hide it.

    You can't move the Yahoo Toolbar from IE to Firefox, they are totally different "behind the scenes". However you can install it, [http://us.toolbar.yahoo.com/ http://us.toolbar.yahoo.com/] and I believe if you log in with your Yahoo account it will sync your data.

  • How do I remove Yahoo toolbar?

    Hi, Somehow Yahoo toolbar has downloaded onto my pc. Yes I have downloaded a new software but it never asked me if I wanted Yahoo. I am very vigilant when I download software & I swear there was no mention of Yahoo.
    I've been to the remove a software from the control panel on my windows 7 pc but there is no mention of Yahoo.
    I've also checked the extensions on Firefox add ons but there is no Yahoo there either.
    I've even removed Yahoo from the Registry and...
    Yahoo still comes up!!!
    I've searched various forums etc & none of them mention the problem I have.
    Does anyone please know how to remove this toolbar I do not want from my pc?
    Any help please would be appreciated.

    okay while in the mist of posting that I was doing some digging in other hidden file areas....get ready to cheer all...i think we can nuke it now.
    travel on your windows 7 boxes to C:\Users\<your user name here>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\uh07uw1k.default\extensions\{635abd67-4fe9-1b23-4f01-e679fa7484c1}
    take note that there are a bunch of yahoo files and folders hidden inside there....
    NUKE (delete) the folder 635abd67-4fe9-1b23-4f01-e679fa7484c1 an yahoo toolbar and all of its trash is gone.if its not named the same for you just keep hunting in there and compare the install date of the toolbar and the date the files where made and you too can be free of this massive pain in the @$$ yahoo has created to collect data an just down right annoy you with.
    Hope that this has helped all of you.....

  • I want to remove Yahoo Toolbar and one way to do so is to go to Tools dropdown menu. But Yahoo toolbar has "covered this up" and I can't locate my TOOLS dropdown menu anymore. Can someone assist me to circumvent this?

    I have tried to uninstall Yahoo Toolbar using this and other methods. Another is to find the "pencil" icon to uninstall-- but my Yahoo toolbar doesn't have a "pencil" icon!! HELP!! I never wanted the Yahoo toolbar but it was auto installed with latest version of Firefox. I no longer have a URL bar at top of page to input URLs, no way to hit a "back" arrow to go back to prior website-- not good.

    hello, this sounds like the files in your [[Profiles|profile folder]] that store the information about your extensions might have become corrupted. please go to ''firefox > help > troubleshooting information > profile - show folder...'' then windows explorer should open up your profile folder. in there look for the files named extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite, extensions.sqlite-journal (and in some cases also extensions.txt, extensions.rdf). delete or rename those files and quit firefox, they will be regenerated the next time you launch firefox.

  • My Yahoo toolbar has disappeared and also my "bookmarks". How do I get them back on both gmail and yahoo?

    Hello Firefox:
    I am quite dismayed at changes that have recently been made on my two email accounts; gmail and yahoo.
    My yahoo toolbar has completely disappeared along with the bookmarks of which I had several.
    Not long ago my "favorites" list disappeared and I had to replace it with "bookmarks".
    WHAT IS GOING ON?
    I also do not like the e-mail changes with the send box having the "send" and other tools on the BOTTOM. How awful. Change doesn't always mean "better".
    Will you please advise me as to how I may get my toolbar and bookmarks back?
    ALSO, the e-mails do not fit my computer screen and many times I have shut down the e-mail and re-enter my passwords in order to get out of a page. CAN YOU FIX THIS? Everything worked so well before.
    Please tell me where I can get help with these items. I AM A VERY UNHAPPY CUSTOMER.
    ''[email addresses removed by moderator]''

    Click Firefox (orange) button > Preferences > [x] check the yahoo Toolbar
    Press CTRL + SHIFT + O to show all the Bookmarks

  • Yahoo toolbar is missing and won't reinstall

    My yahoo toolbar is missing and won't reinstall. The yahoo icon is there and the space to type for the search engine is there but the search engine doesn't do anything when I try to use it. The apps/icons are all missing too. I uninstalled the toolbar and have reinstalled it 10 tomes and it won't work.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Yahoo toolbar appeared without my consent. Can't get rid of it. Does not appear in list of add-ons or in list of programs installed for uninstall. (Win7; FFx5) Please help me delete this annoyance.)

    I was prompted to update Java. I got a YAHOO toolbar which I did and do not want. I can't get rid of it. It does not appear on the Add-on list, not in the programs list (to uninstall). Can't find anything with Yahoo in the name. I do not want to use View, because it keeps coming back into view without my consent -- I want it gone permanently.
    The uninstall directions in Yahoo help call for click on pencil tool (which tool is not found on this toolbar). Firefox instructions say go to Add-on list, but the Yahoo bar is not there. There are several Java add-ons, but I don't know what they are and what happens if they are uninstalled.
    Win 7; Firefox 5.0; Yahoo toolbar ver 2.3.8.20110620112826
    Perhaps it is disguised as something else. If so please tell me what to uninstall.

    Try RIGHT clicking on different areas of the toolbars on Firefox, mainly try right clicking on/around the url bar & forward/back navigation buttons. When you get the correct spot if will give you a menu with the toolbars available (whether or not they're active) and a couple other options. Just uncheck the Yahoo one & you should be all set.
    As you say though it may be some other bar disguised as a yahoo bar. Any chance you can get a screen shot of it & post it here?

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    Explore Settings > General > Accessibility. Around page 128 of the User Guide is probably appropriate.

  • A feature of my Yahoo Toolbar has dissappeared and doesnt seem to be available to re add to toolbar, specifically, anti spy.

    After downloading Firefox 3.6, my Yahoo toolbar became disabled. It works now, however, one of the features of the toolbar no longer shows available on the toolbar : anti spy. It also does not appear as being able to re add to the toolbar.

    When did you download Firefox? <br />
    You are like 5 versions behind the one that was released last Friday.
    Have you checked for an update for the Yahoo Toolbar? <br />
    You can right-click that extension in the Extension Manager window and select '''Find Update''' - if that extension makes use of that feature.
