How do I get rid of yahoo on verizon iphone 5 safari?

I'm new to the iPhone.  I've tried using Safari on it and Yahoo keeps popping up when I'd like to search with google of get to another website.  I think Verizon does this because they've tried to push Yahoo on me with my Internet service.  How can I get rid of it?
Thanks,
Tom

  • How Can I get rid of Yahoo home page? Changing home page doesn't work.

    A week or two ago, Yahoo started coming up as my home page. No matter how many times I change it back to Bing, every time I bring up Firefox, there is Yahoo as the home page. Changing it back to Bing and clicking ok is not working. I'm getting a little frustrated with this. How do I get rid of Yahoo coming up as my home page when I did not even ask for it?
    Thank you for your time and consideration.
    Sincerely,

    Hi johnbarr, please start a new question for further discussion since the original poster has marked this one as solved.
    For more information on viewing and managing your add-ons in Firefox, see:

  • Clicking the Firefox icon is fine but if I open a new tab it seems Yahoo carries out the search. How can I get rid of Yahoo (not add-ons).

    Clicking the Firefox icon to open it is fine but if I open a new tab (Control T) it seems Yahoo carries out the search. How can I get rid of Yahoo? It's not in Tools Add-ons or Extensions and Windows control panel doesn't show Yahoo either.
    I must have downloaded something that smuggled Yahoo in, but what?

  • How do I get rid of yahoo?

    No one has answered our question: How do we get rid of Yahoo!? We hate it! If it means dumped Firefox, so be it!

  • How do I get rid of Yahoo sidebar?

    How do I get rid of Yahoo? When Firefox starts up Yahoo is the home page and I hate it. How do I get rid of it?

    Got this fixed.
    I deleted Yahoo as a search engine.
    To do this: on the right hand side of a toolbar there is a pull down menu which contains "manage search engines". Select this and remove "Yahoo".
    BTW: the "Tools" - "Options" - "remove hardware acceleration.. " did not work.

  • How can i get rid of ad redirects on my Safari?

    How can i get rid of ad redirects on my Safari? Pop up blocks are not working.

    Download and install GlimmerBlocker.
    (Presumably you regularly empty your Safari cache by deleting the following file:
    Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/cache.db
    and clear your History)
    Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security, (including anti-phishing and redirects) (Full information about Open DNS is here: http://www.opendns.com/home/nobloat ) and further independent information can be read here:
    http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57338784-263/free-dnscrypt-tool-enhances-ma c-web-security/?tag=mncol;txt
    and here:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/1146064/troubleshootdns.html?t=234
    Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    (You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
    Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:

    Use Google and find some other unofficial copy. This is not supported by Apple (downgrading that is) and purely at your own risk. If you end up with one that has spyware, etc., it will be entirely your problem.

  • How can I get rid of Yahoo Search starting up everytime I click + to open a new tab

    I recently downloaded a product (can't remember what it was) but
    it included the Yahoo Search Toolbar. Now, although I have
    disabled the ToolBar, everytime I click on + to open a new tab it
    ALWAYS brings up Yahoo Search Box before I can type in the ULR I am wanting to open. It's driving me mad.
    Can anyone tell me how to get rid of Yahoo Search Box. It does
    not appear in "Add or remove programs"
    Thank you

    Try deleting the Safari .plist file. Preferences can become corrupted.
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
    Click Go the move the com.apple.Safari.pist file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari and check Safari > Preferences  > General. Make sure Google is selected.

  • How can I get rid of Yahoo search on Mountain Lion  safari .

    I have tried everything to get rid of Yahoo from my newly installed Mountain lion upgrade. I have a MBP mid 2011 17".  . I'm used to using Safari so I would ltke to keep using it. BUT, even though I have Google as my default or perferred search engine, Yahoo keeps coming up. I have already tried hiding tool bar & then individually putting up the print , home.etc. icons. But that doesn't work either. I have searched for an answer to no avail thus far. It's beginning to look like I either use Yahoo w/Safari or switch to FF or Chrome. Any answers I will be grateful for. Thanking you in advance. I could just scream at this point. LOL
    And one other thing is bugging me to death. Is there any way to enlarge the toolbar & icons on Mountain Lion. They are very tiny...too tiny. I've tried everything I could think of.

  • How do I get rid of Yahoo search from starting in the creation of a new tab?

    my home page works correctly and I have removed the Yahoo tool bar from plugins/apps (can't remember which) But whenever I open a new tab it opens on this
    http://search.yahoo.com/?fr=freeze&type=W3i_NA,132,3_6,Tab%20Search,20110520,16934,0,19,0
    I would like it to open on my home page, which firefox does on startup. But I can't find a setting in options that will allow you to dictate what first appears when opening a new tab.
    I tried this solution but it didn't work
    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/811550?s=getting+rid+of+yahoo+search&as=s

    Do you also have a search bar on your tabs bar if so, it is probably "New Tab" extension, but suggest going through all of the following.
    '''Remove the Yahoo Toolbar'''
    # "Ctrl+Shift+A" (Add-ons Manager)
    # Select Puzzle piece on left-side for Extensions List
    # Find "Yahoo Toolbar" and click on "Uninstall" button, and restart Firefox. ''(if you really need to keep the Yahoo toolbar, you can hide the toolbar instead with customize, and still change all the search defaults as below)''
    '''Then to fix the default search engine''' used at the Location Bar, change the value of '''keyword.URL''' in '''about:config''' to one of the values shown in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Location_Bar_search#Location_Bar_search_.28external_-_search_engine.29 Location Bar search] at MozillaZine.
    * Google Search (Google search results page)<br>'''http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q='''
    # type in '''about:config''' into the location bar (in a new tab)
    # if the warning message nonsense comes up ''uncheck'' the box '''before''' dismissing the dialog message
    # '''filter on keyword'''
    # right-click on '''keyword.URL''' and choose "modify" then paste in the Google search engine string of your choice.
    # '''filter on defaulturl'''
    # right-click on '''browser.search.defaulturl''' ''(if it exists)''and again choose "modify" then paste in the Google search engine string of your choice.
    # '''filter on ytff'''
    # right-click on '''yahoo.ytff.search.popup_src''' ''(if it exists)'' and again choose "modify" then paste in the Google search engine string of your choice, if adventurous might see if "reset" would remove and see if gone in next session (well not for those keeping the extension).<br
