Get rid of Firefox for Yahoo; go back to straight Firefox

I downloaded Firefox for yahoo. I want to get rid of the Yahoo connection and just have Firefox. How? Thanks

To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles
What problems are you having with Firefox 4?

Stop and get rid of prompts for upgrading to newer versions of Firefox

When I start up Firefox, in the upper left-hand corner it keeps prompting me to upgrade to Firefox's latest version. How can I get rid of this prompting permanently.

Once an item enters the download queue, the user cannot remove it. Contact the iTunes Store customer support department through the Contact page and ask them if they'll remove the item(s) from your queue for you.

There are several login keychain items I'd like to get rid of. I've deleted them but they come back after several hours. How can I get rid of them for good

There are several login keychain items I'd like to get rid of. I've deleted them but they come back after several hours. How can I get rid of them for good.

Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
          Change Settings for Keychain "login"
In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
          Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked
          Keep login keychain unlocked
is not checked, check it.
Select
          Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

Yahoo says I should get firefox for yahoo - should I? what is it?

While researching a question on yahoo, I came across a suggestion to upgrade my browser to Firefox for Yahoo. What is this, and is it something I should be doing? I was looking at Yahoo help to find out why lately a lot of the attachments people email me don't appear or open, though I can open them when I forward the mail to a gmail account. Thankis.

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

If you used Boot Camp to install Windows you may use Boot Camp to remove it and return your drive to as it was.

How do I get rid of "Trojan-Gackdoor.Ciadoor.gn" from c:\programfiles\firefox\firefox.exe?

After scanning the hard drive, Advanced System Optimizer found "Trojan-Backdoor.Ciadoor.gn" in "c:\program files\firefox\firefox.exe". When I launch Firefox, the Optimizer requests me to exclude the trojan from stopping the launch. If I agree to the exclusion, then I need to re-launch Firefox.

Yahoo installed a Yahoo tab in my Firefox toolbar that I DO NOT want there- how do I get rid of it for good?

Yahoo took over my Firefox- help!
About two weeks ago for some unknown reason Yahool basically took over my Firefox. All of a sudden it was my preferred search engine, Yahoo! TAB shows up in my toolbar (can't remove it) and in general it's been doing some goofy things. I swear I didn't give out any permission for this, but I hate it and it's driving me crazy (actually temp swithched back to Explorer). Tried uninstall and reinstall, but it's still there. Read somewhere that Yahoo hides it's files in hard to figure out places so it can't be deleted. Can anybody help me figure out how to get rid of Yahoo? (ESPECIALLY THE TOOLBAR TAB AT THE TOP) Many thanks!

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).

I hate the new version of firefox for yahoo because I can only go back 1 page at a time. It's horrible for the game Farmville on facebook. How can I get my old version back?

I want to be able to click on the back arrow button and scroll down to the page I want to go back to instead of having to hit the button 3 or 4 times to get to where I want to go.

You can revert back to Firefox 3.6 very easily how ever this is not recommend as support will eventually end for Firefox 3.6.
1. Uninstall Firefox 4.0 - '''Making sure that you do not remove your personal data unless you want to''' (Bookmarks, History, etc...)
2. Download Firefox 3.6 from here [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]

I was happy with the previous version - can i get rid of the upgrade and go back to "normal" for me - i don't have time to relearn everything. it's annoying.

I don't like many aspects of the updated version I downloaded a few months ago - I haven't even tried a newer version popping up in the corner of my desktop. I would like to get rid of the updated version and go back to the previous one. It suits my simple needs.

If you want to change the layout to be more like Firefox 3.6, you can do so. Firefox 9.0.1 is the current version and Firefox 10 will replace it at the end of January 2012. The only other version of Firefox that is currently supported and updated is Firefox 3.6.25, '''but support for the Firefox 3.6 version is likely to end soon'''.

How do I get rid of the search Yahoo and get my Google back as default?

Nothing I do gets rid of Yahoo, it is like a bad penny, keeps coming back. I have always had Google and now Yahoo has taken over and will not leave

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).

If there is a problem with searching via the default about:home page then try to reset the search engine used on the about:home page.
Reset the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone pref via the right-click context menu to the default on the about:config page and close and restart Firefox to restore the about:home page to its default.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
#Open the about:config page via the location bar

If this didn't help then delete the delete the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder and repeat the above.

I have an add on that keeps popping up called object browser. I have removed it several times but it keeps coming back. Any way to get rid of it for good?

I keep trying to remove it but it keeps coming back.

That's a potentially unwanted program. You can get rid of it by simply uninstalling the program, or using an anti-malware if all else fails.
First of all, try uninstalling the Object Browser program.
'''To uninstall the Object Browser program...'''
#Press the Windows Key+C simultaneously on your keyboard to bring up the Charms bar.
#Search for ''Programs and Features''.
#Click the ''Programs and Features'' search result.
#In ''Programs and Features'', find ''Object Browser'' and uninstall it from your computer.
#After uninstalling the program completely (and restarting your computer if you had to in order to complete the uninstallation), open Firefox, go to your Add-ons page, and remove the ''Object Browser'' add-on.
If that didn't solve your problem, try some anti-malwares.
'''To scan for Object Browser...'''
'''''ADW Cleaner'''''
#Download ADW Cleaner from its [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ website].
#Open the downloaded file to start ADW Cleaner.
#Scan for malware using the program.
#Clean any infections.
'''''Malwarebytes'''''
#Download Malwarebytes from [http://malwarebytes.org this link].
#Open the downloaded file to install the program.
#Upon completion of installation, run the program and scan for malware.
#Remove any detected threats.
