How do I bring my already installed Yahoo Toolbar from my IE Browser to my current FireFox browser?

Prior to my Firefox browser, I was using IE8 for quite some time. I have a toolbar, for Yahoo, installed into my system already from my initial homepage setup in IE. I now use Yahoo as one of my homepages in Firefox and would like to have the Yahoo toolbar available when I log in to my browser. I know how to import my bookmarks/favorites from other browsers, I did this already. Can I move the Yahoo toolbar that's been customized my way, from my old IE8 browser to my new FF browser? I don't want to re-install it, again, if I don't have to. All of my preferred links/buttons are set up in it; CNN News, You Tube, etc.

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 disable the "Plug-In Check" window from popping up everytime I open my firefox browser? It is totally annoying...thanks

    Every time I open firefox browser a very ANNOYING "Plugin Check Window" pops up. My plugins are up to date. I don't want this reminder....PLEASE let me know how to disable it...thanks

    I discovered that Flash gets disabled after making this about:config change. Firefox claims that Flash is "out of date" when the latest version is installed. So if you use Flash, this tweak won't work.
    I don't really need my browser telling me what I can and can't run...

    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.

    Question
    how to remove ghostery, google analytics, and yahoo toolbar? thx.

    Ghostery and the Yahoo toolbar are extensions.<br />

    Google analytics is a service for webmasters which collects statistics about usage of their websites. Not sure how that would affect website users - unless you installed a GA extension. If you got it, it can be uninstalled just like the other two extensions.

    How do I remove the WiseConvert B Community toolbar from Firefox? It has suddenly appeared and even though I open FireFox > View>Toolbars> deselect Wise Convert etc. it reappears when I reopen FireFox. Can't find anything in any of my files about it.

    If you select Add-ons from the Tool menu, do you see this "WiseConvert" thing as a plugin or extension? If so, you can just disable it from there...

  • How do i get rid of the Yahoo toolbar?

    Aster using Firefox for the last two years, I had to uninstall and reinstall it after downloading the latest version. Surprise, there is the ever-present Yahoo toolbar following me everyplace I go like a faithful dog.
    How do I get rid of it and use Google when I do a search? When getting to a new website from my homepage, I want a new tab to come up for me to type the new address. If I cannot do this, the whole tab concept has gone out of the window. I should not have to go to a Yahoo search tool that in many cases what I see in the search results has nothing to do with the website I want to go to.
    Help!

    The help page for REFRESH FireFox needs more info.
    1. By refreshing Firefox the new or default profile does not guarentee that the add-ons are all up to date or not vulnerable.
    2. It would be really nice if FireFox would give users advice on browsing safely.
    3. Do not click on pop-ups anywhere on the screen and to use Windows Task Manager instead.
    4. Only update from the program that you are updating not from pop-ups!!!
    My story:
    I do not like to have updates automatically installed. Reason, it depends on what I am doing on the internet and how
    much time I have if I will install an update and there are other reasons... Because I unplug the Ethernet cable from my
    laptop whenever I am not on the internet. And I do update programs. I have been learning to more about using FireFox safely.
    Reason why I used REFRESH
    I unthinkingly clicked on a pop-up at the right bottom of the screen over the tool bar.
    It is now common that microsoft places update info in pop-ups at that same location. So I got used to it and I clicked on
    a Fire Fox update. Well it was from Yahoo publisher with file named sxh.yimg.com. A very persistant Yahoo! toolbar
    appeared in the main menu. And the address bar was redirected to - www.datatoolbar.com - an online data miner with yahoo
    in the address. I have gone through a lot of uninstalls, deleting Mozilla File Folders in User/Roaming and Local to get
    rid of this but it persisted. REFRESH did work, but one or two add-ons were vulnerable and I went through a 3 hour crash
    yesterday.

  • How do I get rid of a yahoo toolbar that keeps popping up and is not on the program list of my computer?

    Immediately after I updated my firefox a couple of weeks ago, the browser started to display a yahoo toolbar. At the time my husband took it off using the control panel and add/remove program function on the computer.
    since this am, the toolbar has come back up. I did NOT do anything to request it, or put it there. It is not showing up on my program list, I cannot find it when I do a search of my computer. When I went to yahoo help "remove toolbar" the two suggestions were to do that or use the settings button to remove it, but the settings menu on this doesn't have that option, unless maybe I would create an account, log in, and then remove it. I don't really want to do that either.
    I don't know where this came from, and don't really trust it. I would like to take it off, but can't seem to figure out how.

    I figured it out! Click on the Orange 'Firefox' tab on the upper left hand side of the Firefox browser, Choose 'Options', then deselect 'Yahoo! toolbar'.

  • My yahoo toolbar add in disappears each time I open firefox, requiring me to install the tool bar with each session. Would you know what might be causing this?

    I have always used the yahoo toolbar to store my bookmarks. I recently had my computer serviced for an network problem I was experiencing, and since its return to to I have found that I must install the yahoo toolbar each time I open firefox. The toolbar does not stay for subsequent sessions like it had in the past. Is there a setting or problem that may be causing this?

    You can check for recently installed suspicious or unknown extensions.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> 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

  • Why can I not install yahoo toolbar on lastest Firefox 4.0.1???

  • How do I get rid of a yahoo toolbar & get my origional Firefox one back.

    Somehow I allowed a Yahoo toolbar to be downloaded on my Firefox program & it has changed all my settings. How can I get rid of it a have the default Firefox toolbar back. Thank you.

    Are you really running the ancient OS 8.6?
    The following guidance, whilst not exactly for your toolbar, seems to work with others, so worth a try:
    If you are running Tiger or Leopard:
    Close Safari, then locate and delete the following files and it should be gone:
    /Library/Application Support/Conduit
    /Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
    /Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
    /Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
    /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
    /Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit
    where / is the root library on your Hard Disk.
    If you are running Snow Leopard you should also look here:
    Library/launchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
    Library/Application support/conduit plugins
    Also, as mentioned by Gilli2000:
    Library/Receipts - If you read it, it has information in it at the bottom referring extensively to "CT" and "community toolbar".
    Maybe it is harmless, but trash those items anyway!
    If you are running Lion:
    From the Finder Menu bar, select Go ▹ Go to Folder, and in the box that opens write:
    ~/Library/Application Support/Conduit
    Delete the second item if it is there.
    Now select Go to Folder again and enter  /Library
    From the folder that opens, delete the following items if they are there (you may need your login password):
    Application Support/Conduit
    InputManagers/CTLoader
    LaunchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
    ScriptingAdditions/ct_scripting.osax
    then close the folder. Now select Go to Folder again and write: /Applications/Toolbars
    Delete that item and close the Finder windows you opened. Log out then log back in, and you should be rid of it.
    Note: Safari does not support any third-party toolbars except those supplied as an extension to Safari via the Extension Gallery.

  • When I checked for updates to my plug-ins, there were 4 listed as out-of-date that are already installed on my computer. Is there a problem with Firefox recognizing them????

    Wondering because I am having problems with not being able to print some stuff from the web or sometimes see media. Plug-ins listed as out-of-date (but that are installed) are Adobe Reader, Quick Time, Java and Flash Player.

    If you have 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 5.0.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.

  • Cannot uninstall Yahoo toolbar from Firefox

    I'm reposting part of another thread that was closed because no one is actually listening to the people that are posting the problem.
    Quote:
    I had the same problem, after I installed Yahoo Messenger. I asked not to install the toolbar, but it was installed. Then I uninstalled it, I disabled it from addons, yet, the toolbar was there no matter what I did. I uninstalled Firefox, reinstalled, with the download from mozilla, the toolbar was still there. I did all that one has to do in order to uninstall a piece of software, without being "the tech guy". I do not have the same problem in Chrome or Internet Explorer. It was uninstalled from all other browsers when I removed the program from control panel. I can't see what I can do to get rid of it. I choose to just hide it for now, but it bugs me that I have a piece of software that behaves like a virus, doing stuff I don't want it to do. And for the record, I am not confused about the search for yahoo and toolbar for yahooo. Right clicking on the interface, allowed me to check or uncheck exactly that "yahoo toolbar".
    /quote
    This is exactly my problem as well.
    In the other thread several people said 'disable it in your add-ons' Well as the poster above mentioned and I can confirm **it is not in the add-ons area**
    Others said 'use the add/remove function in the control panel' and as the poster above mentioned and once again I can confirm **I did this and it no longer shows up under add/remove but the toolbar is still annoyingly there**
    Yet others said 'you must have downloaded a special yahoo version of Firefox' No, we (or at least I) didn't. The toolbar was installed when I installed Yahoo messenger
    -I can't believe a 'clean install' of Firefox is the answer to this problem--if so this is just ridiculous.
    If there is no actual answer, I can accept that but I am frustrated that people are posting responses that very clearly are not the right answers because the people posting the problems were very clear about the issues.
    Thanks for reading, please assist if you can.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.
