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'.

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.

How can I get rid of a system dialogue that keeps reappearing?

Ever since the latest system update, when my Apple TV goes into the slideshow mode, a dialogue box keeps popping up. It briefly disappears when the picture changes but I can't get rid of it permanently. It reads:
"Wirelessly send what's on your ios device or computer to this display using Airplay. To learn more, go to apple.com/airplay. (1) Choose Wi-Network [name of my local Wi-fi network appears] (2) Choose this Apple TV."
I assume that the numbers 1 and 2 are options but no action I take on the Apple TV remote or the Logitech universal remote I use clears the dialogue.
How can I eliminate this dialogue? It really defeats the purpose of the slide show!

Same issue for me. I've updated the Conference Room Mode, but now when I start the slideshow it goes back to the Apple TV Menu? Any advise? Thanks!

How do I get rid of blank pdf windows that appear in mission control? My adobe acrobat program isn't even open.

Everytime I go into mission control I see blank pdf windows. I can't get rid of them except when I restart my computer. Otherwise I have to put them all into 1 desktop in mission control so they don't clutter my other desktops. The windows only appear in mission control and not in the actual active desktop. I've tried closing any open application that uses pdfs but that doesn't help. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

Hi Bill,
I came to the problem this morning with a fresh perspective and have solved the problem: I realized the text was in Cambria, so I changed it to the dependable Times New Roman. I created the PDF and NO pound signs appeared scattered around in the PDF.
Ay, fonts!
Thanks for replying, and have a great day!

How do I get rid of this annoying message that now pops up?

I just answered my own question. But seriously, "You are using an unsupport browser that verizon.com does not support"???
Solved!
Go to Solution.

"I agree that the wording could be better. Odds are the code was written by someone that does not have english as a first language. The message *does* have to stay present until the browser is fixed, though. Otherwise people would dismiss it, then complain that some feature wasn't working. When someone said they were using an unsupported browser, they would further complain that there was no message telling them so. (As is, there are still people that scroll past the message without seeing it and still complain.)" --- Personally, I would just come back to that message later if I could close it out and honestly, I think leaving it there like a permanent fixture is really unncessary. It comes up right on top of your screen and pushes everything way down to the bottom so there is no way you can miss it. And it doesn't have to be done in such an annoying way that the message will be stuck to the top of your browser until you get the upgrade. That's ridiculous. If it just came up as a pop up message that comes on whenever you open your browser, that would still make the point just the same and wouldn't encourage me to dismiss it. Sure you have people out there with no common sense but a lot of us do. Some people are just going to complain no matter what and that's always a given.
No, issues more important to the customer. The error is worded poorly, but gets the point across. The list of supported browsers is easily accessible. The more important issues I was referring to are things like being unable to delete email or pay the Verizon bill that many people are experiencing. (Not me, personally, but then I don't get the unsupported browser message, either.) If there's coding work to be done, I vote they address the serious, service-impacting issues before they work on minor annoyances.----The error gets the point across? Not really in my opinion. Yes, you can click on supported browsers but going from saying that your browser itself is unsupported to saying that you just need an updated version of the browser is really taking the customer for a loop. I know that took me for a loop because I think that's saying two completely different things. And yes of course, email issues or paying a bill on line are important as well but I think this is just as important regardless because when there is an accumulation of messages that are communicated poorly in addition to the run around and wait time and being put on hold when calling customer service, that can really be the tipping point for a customer who has just about had it and is ready to switch to another provider. All of these providers should be taking these steps to better service the customer and to me personally, this is no different and what may be minor to a corporation is often a bigger deal to the customer dealing with it.
And how hard is it to revise the wording on an error message like that? Give me a break. For something simple that can encourage more customers to keep their service, isn't that worth it? Verizon has yet to prove to me that it cares about investing in better customer service and better communication.
I have never heard of any other provider which has its error messages worded like that taking the whole thing out of context. My services are working fine but believe me, if I had to start all over again, i.e. move to a new residence, I would not go back to Fios. There may even come a point later on where I will need to switch even while staying where I live now. Time will tell. I often don't have the luxury of wasting more time than what's necessary to resolve a problem, especially something simple. The communication and the customer service from Verizon have a lot to be desired and need a lot of hard work. If I had to grade it right now, I would give it a "D" for barely passing, just barely beneath being adequate. I think that's a fair assessment. For a provider that's getting so much of your money, it's disappointing. My time is valuable and I honestly feel that Verizon oftentimes doesn't give a darn about that. To me it's another example of having to waste more time going around in circles like the phone runaround being put on hold numerous times until you hopefully get the issue resolved.
And sure, my problem has been solved...once again after going for a loop and going for another runaround. It's not really acceptable customer service.
Excuse my cynicism but that's my opinion. For 140 bucks per month, it's not my problem that Verizon is hiring someone with poor English to write that error message. That's pathetic and who has time for that nonsense? I like the product but like I said, time will tell.

You'll need to connect it to the iTunes library you normally sync it with and restore it. If iTunes asks you for this passcode before it will let you proceed, connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode instead using the instructions in this Apple support document.

Try to remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry (Show All History or History sidebar) or via the about:permissions page.
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make a note of those passwords and bookmarks.
You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the affected files.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

Move cursor onto video. Right click. Click Settings, Click the "never ask again" box. Then click Close. That will work.
For some reason, that always worked for me, but in the last two days, it does not work, and it seems to freeze on the
video. See, if it works for you.

Are your tracks pat of a collection? Different artists, but still one album? Then mark them a s acollection or set the album artist. See this guide on how to group separate tracks into albums:
