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.

Can someone tell me the steps to get rid of the Yahoo toolbar. I have gmail and the right homepage , and when I updatede Firefox I said I didn't want the Yahoo toolbar, but it is there anyway and I don't know how to get rid of it.

I just want to get rid of the **** Yahoo toolbar! If not, I want to go back to the previous version of Firefox. Can someone help me with the steps to do either one of these, Please!!!

I just figured out how to remove it. Go to the Tools menu and select add-ons. Click on extensions, locate Yahoo Toolbar in the list, and off to the right, you can click on "Disable" or "Remove." I disabled, restarted Firefox 4.0, and bingo, no annoying Yahoo toolbar. Hope this helps!

Every time I open Safari, I get a message (and a pop-up) that says the Safari browser I'm using does not support Community Toolbar. How can I get rid of the Community Toolbar or at least turn it off?

That toolbar/ct plugin seems to cause problems for all who install it!
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
Note: Safari does not support any third-party toolbars except those supplied as an extension to Safari via the Extension Gallery.

How do i get rid of the Yahoo Virus?

Everytime i type something in the adress bar and hit enter i get redirected to yahoo search.
I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN ASKED MANY DAMN TIMES.
But the solutions suggested DO NOT WORK, because the keyword.URL does not exist anymore.
I've had the same problem 2 weeks ago and yesterday i've let a friend install Spotify on my computer and BOOM - this morning guess who was back.
The last time I had to remove it i had to reinstall everything which resulted in having me to input all the pages i frequently use by hand aswell as the corresponding log ins.
I don't wonna go through this trouble again.
How do I get rid of it and more important is there a way to banish the Yahoo Virus forever without having to gamble everytime you install a new piece of software?

The reason keyword.URL no longer matters is that the address bar is designed to use the same search engine you select on the Search Bar (by default, Google).
If that is not working, check your extensions. You can review, disable, and often remove them on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, disable everything nonessential or unknown -- often you won't even recognize everything here.
Usually a link will appear above a disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the add-ons page and click the link as the last step.
To clean up non-default settings, you can use the Search Reset extension:

Any luck?

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 I can get rid of the Upromise toolbar for Mac Users?

I'm not able to remove a toolbar from my Firefox browser and I don't want it anymore. I am a Mac user and I don't know how to do this and don't know where my options are to make this move or remove the toolbar?
Thank you all for your support and suggestions and Happy New Years guys!

Some extensions install locally to your Firefox settings folder and these are easiest to remove: there should be a Remove button on the Add-ons page. But in other cases, the extensions may be in a shared folder. You can Disable them on the Add-ons page, but you may have to go hunting to find the actual file. Here's how I'd get started:
Open the Add-ons page using either:
* Command+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then see whether you can remove that one, and disable any other suspicious, non-essential, or unrecognized extensions that could be part of the same infestation.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Does that remove the toolbar?

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 can I get rid of the personal toolbar which is always displayed

Hi,
Just migrated from xp to win 8.1 on a new computer.
In the process of cleaning up my firefox bookmarks and personal bookmark folder I must have done a wrong manipulation.
My personal bookmark bar is now always visible across the top of the screen.
I just don't want this and want to get rid of that continuous display. What did I do wrong and how can I mend this?
Thank you in advance,
LL

Hi,
You can hide that by following:
*Click the orange Firefox button
*Go to View > Toolbars > and uncheck ''Bookmarks Toolbar''

How do I get rid of the new toolbar that was added by versions 20 and 21?

I have tried both versions 20 and 21 and both have the bugs below so I ended up having to re-install version 19:
1.) Versions 20 and 21 add a new toolbar that has nothing but a "Firefox" button on it - and no way to get rid of this toolbar is provided. It wastes far too much space on my laptop's screen - that button should have been put on one of the other toolbars or simply made part of the icon set that users can use to customize their menubar or other toolbars.
2.) That new toolbar is not customizable. Hence, I don't have the option of recovering screen space by moving everything from my menubar onto the new toolbar then hiding the menubar.
3.) The back, forward, and stop|reload buttons on my menubar no longer work. Moving them back to the navigation toolbar and showing that toolbar does not solve the problem. Nor can I right-click on a web page and select those functions from the context menu: they are permanently disabled there too.
4.) I can no longer right click on the menubar or a toolbar and get a context menu from which you I can pick a "customize" option - I can't get a context menu AT ALL. In order to customize things for versions 20 or 21, I first have to reinstall version 19, do the customizations, then reinstall version 20 or 21.

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).

How Do I Get Rid Of The Application Toolbar In CS4?

I can seemingly turn everything else off. I don't want the Application Frame. I don't want the Application Toolbar. I just don't want it. My screen real estate is valuable to me and it's in the way. I can't even dock it on a side or as a tab somewhere. I need the vertical screen real estate. Where do I turn this off? And if it isn't possible--why NOT? This is a serious gripe and I'm going to see if I can scrounge up an old copy of PS. This is a waste of $700.

I humbly submit that I was wrong. And sorry for the rant; this has been bugging me for a while. The menu item was indeed there--after I restarted PS while holding down command-option-shift. Best guess is something corrupted while/shortly after installing.

How do I get rid of the Alot toolbar so it doesn't ever load again?

The Alot toolbar loads multiple times in the two Firefox windows I save. And small empty dialogue boxes also open. Too many boxes open. It's all very irritating. I don't want Alot toolbar anymore. I have seen, however, that people who have deleted it have also lost their Google toolbars, which I don't want to have happen to me.
