How do i eliminate yahoo search totally and forever.

I want to eliminate Yahoo resetting itself to be my default search engine. Every time I shut down, Yahoo repositions itself and takes over. The only thing I use Yahoo for is the mail and messenger. I do not use Yahoo search because there is no way I can see that allows control of what history it keeps. I usually use Bing.

Which search engine do you mean?
Is this:
* searching via the location bar (pref: keyword.URL)
* search bar on the Navigation Toolbar
* search bar on the about:home page
* other search bar (e.g. added by extension)
If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
Try to reset some preferences to the default with the SearchReset extension:
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
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
#Type in the Filter bar: mstone
#Right-click the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone line and select: Reset
#Close and restart Firefox
If this didn't help then delete the delete the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder and repeat the above.

You need to figure out what you have installed which changed that action to Yahoo from a blank tab, which is the default action in Firefox; and then get rid of that add-on. Then you can can install an add-on which allows you to select what you want in the new tab.

How do I remove Yahoo search and replace it with google when I open a new tab

I have tried everything that I can think of and every time I open a new tab, it opens in Yahoo search and not in google like it had before.

1. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
    Turn those off and relaunch Safari again.
    Turn those on one by one and test.
2. Use free AdwareMedic by clicking “Download ” from here
     http://www.adwaremedic.com/index.php
     Install , open, and run it by clicking “Scan for Adware” button   to remove adware.
     Once done, quit AdwareMedic by clicking AdwareMedic in the menu bar and selecting
    “Quit AdwareMedic”.

Wyy won't firefox take me DIRECTLY to website? Instead it takes me to the yahoo search results and I have to click on the site. Very frustrating. Any ideas on how to change?

Can't get directly to website. When I enter address, firefox takes me to yahoo search results for the site

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

How do i remove yahoo search?

Despite having spent several hours searching fruitlessly on the internet, I still cannot find a quick and simple fix for removing Yahoo as the default Firefox search engine. I do not want rubbishy Yahoo search results. I want to use Google, and if Mozilla Firefox won't let me remove the Yahoo default and nominate Google, then I will walk away and use a different web browser.
There is no simple way to dump Yahoo as the default searcher on Firefox 25.0.1. There is no 'search engine preference' tab in the Firefox drop-down tab, and Yahoo does not show up in the add-ons or extensions list. Nor can I change settings in about:config in the browser.newtab.url line. It is almost as if Mozilla is making it impossibly hard for users to chose which search engine they want.
If Mozilla want to make users use Yahoo then they should clearly state that this when they install Firefox software. I do not like being manipulated in such a cynical way.
If anyone can show me how to easily change my settings so that Google becomes my default search engine then I will be grateful. Thanks in advance.

Hey guys, so I fixed the issue I was having by uninstalling a program called '''"Search Protection" by Spigot, Inc.''' The user above named '''carlos_danger''' had the same issue as me. I installed uTorrent and after that my search engine for Firefox was set to Yahoo and would NOT change to Google, even after trying the about:config trick.
When I read that it could be some form of malware, I went to add/remove programs and sorted them by most recently installed. It was there that I noticed this "Search Protection" program and knew immediately that it was the problem. After uninstalling that, I went back into Firefox and deleted the Yahoo search (and all other searches besides Google) from my search providers.
I think it's really scummy for developers to hide malware like that in their installers. It really frustrated me because Yahoo search results are absolutely terrible and I would have rather switched to a different browser than use them. Unfortunately, I think this "Search Protection" by Spigot, Inc. infects all of your browsers, as the same thing happened in Chrome.
Anyway, go to your add/remove programs, sort by install date (most recent at the top), and look for any oddly named programs that may or may not have something to do with "search".
I have attached an image below of the application I removed.
Hope this helps.

How do i replace yahoo search engine with safari on my iphone 4s

How to make function: line amount total and final colum total at the bottom (Acrobat pro 9)?

The form is like this:
col 1
col 2
col 3
col 4
col 5
Row 1
amount
amount
amount
line total
Row 2
amount
amount
amount
line total
Row 3
amount
amount
amount
line total
Row 4
amount
amount
amount
line total
Row 5
colum total
colum total
colum total
colum total
The problem is that even though the calculation seems to be right, the final total, colum totals and some of the line totals don't update. The sum remains zero.
Could there be a wrong tab order? Could somebody tell me the right order? I've tried several variations, but I just can't get it work . Could somebody help me please?
Thanks in advance!

It's most likely an incorrect field calculation order, which is not at all related to the tab order. In case you don't know how to set it, select "Forms > Add or Edit Fields" to go into form editing mode, and then select "Forms > Edit > Set Field Calculation Order".
Arrange the order so it makes sense, which looks like it should be:
col 2 total
col 3 total
col 4 total
Row 1 total
Row 2 total
Row 3 total
Row 4 total
Row 5 total
Other arrangements might be just a correct, but it's important that the row totals are in that order. You should also check it again when you have the form ready to distribute to make sure it hasn't changed as you've done further editing.

How can I prevent Yahoo search from invading my searches on Google? I have (nor want) nothing Yahoo in my comp.

when I am reading a site I have Googled, Yahoo replaces the page with its own and gives me a search page much like Google's. I can delete the URL, but I can't get rid of the tab with Yahoo Search on it. The Y page will continue to take over the screen. It doesn't happen everywhere, but I haven't found a connection between the sites where it does happen.

How to auto create Report Search functions and Breadcrumb Menu on new pages

Hi
First off I want to say I have just started using Html DB, and think its a great product! I have been using it for a few months now to create an application, and find it flexible, powerful, but still fairly simple to use.
When I create a new Application using "Based on Existing Tables", the pages that get created have some very nice Report Search functions and Breadcrumb Menu features generated automatically.
I want to do the same when I add pages to an existing application. That is, I want new pages to automatically include those Report Search functions and Breadcrumb Menu features.
I have tried various combinations of the existing wizards, but I have not been able to find any that generate all those features automatically. I know I can create pages using the page wizard, and then manually add the Report Search and Breadcrumb Menu. But that is very tedious. Nor can I find a better answer in the forum
Any suggestions or ideas?
Thanks
Richard

Can you show the scripts and reports screenshort, so we can have a clerarl idea.

# Click ok
