How do I get Yahoo to back off?

Finally and unfortunately I have reached the point where I have completely removed Mozilla from my system. It is apparent they have sold their souls to Yahoo. Constant pop-ups and attempts to make a Yahoo a default, it being added to my browser even though I said "no" and then once added, it removes my menu bar and my web page bar so I was forced to use Yahoo's, is totally unacceptable. And good friggin luck getting ahold of anyone at Mozilla, perhaps they are too busy playing golf with the executives at Yahoo?!? I was a long time fan of Mozilla but the constant push for Yahoo and the constant issues with it crashing, non connect to websites and the force to use Yahoo, has more than changed my mind. Sounds like Mozilla is going the way of Netscape and Explorer. Can anyone recommend another browser that isn't out pushing an agenda?? I am sick about this but have uninstalled Mozilla for the last time, not doing the reinstall just to get rid of things I was forced to install, Mozilla is just not worth the time anymore. Good luck mess-illa. I have VERY disappointed. Guess its simply another sign of the times and one more train wreck in the Silicon Valley. Catch ya later! Sorry for the bad new, I am just a customer that is burnt out on you all! Much luck to you all, with this stuff going on, you all will need it!

You have something else on that PC that keeps installing that Yahoo crap, it sure as hell isn't Mozilla. Google is and always has been Mozilla's partner for search engines.

  • How do I Get Yahoo Messenger back?

    A couple of months ago it seems I inadvertently/accidentally removed my Yahoo Messenger while trying to upgrade to a newer version. It's not even in my dock anymore. I'm not tech savvy at all, so I have no ideal what I did.
    On the Yahoo page the Yahoo "Messenger" button still responds when I click it as far as showing me which one of my friends is on line, but if I click on one of their names, attempt to launch Messenger, OR, try to download any version of Yahoo Messenger, even the Beta version, nothing comes of it, with the exception of having a drop down window on this Yahoo page stating the following:
    Alert:
    +Firefox doesn't know how to open this+
    +address, because the protocol (ymsgr)+
    +isn't associated with any program.+
    ... I thought it was just on my Mac here at home, but when I tried to launch Messenger on my friend's PC laptop, the same response from my Yahoo page ensued. What's going on? Can anyone help?

    Yahoo Messenger is not part of OS X. You can download it from Yahoo or VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

  • Is the iCloud a backup tool for your computer?  How do I get my data back -- off the iCloud?

    Is the iCloud a backup tool for your computer?  ---- Apple care suggested using iCloud for a backup to my documents.  I do not have an iphone, ipad or laptop.  Just an iMac.  Nothing to share the data with.
    Now I am unable to access some of my documents on my computer and saving documents is cumbersome because it always wants to save it in iCloud, not my computer.  The documents I am unable to open are my old MS-Word.  One is a macro enabled word doc.   I am using os x mountain lion.
    After over an hour chat with apple care, the issue is not resolved.  I did not have more time to resolve the issue today and it will be continued next week.  Per apple care, I do not have any documents in the iCloud however I am almost at the free capacity with  contacts and documents.
    My question is -- If I purchase backup from a clould provider - other than apple, back up my files in documents in their cloud (make sure I can open them) and then delete the link to iCloud.  Would I preserve my data? Has anyone tried this?  I am open to suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Phyllis

    Is the iCloud a backup tool for your computer?  ---- Apple care suggested using iCloud for a backup to my documents.
    Not really. You can store "Documents in the Cloud" but this applies only to documents created by Pages, Numbers, Preview, Keynote, and Microsoft Office documents created on your computer stored in iCloud's "iWork". Within that limited purpose, iCloud works very well.

    I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean by "purchase backup from a cloud provider" but if you're considering a service such as Carbonite, I don't advocate any of them. To back up your Mac, use your own backup device - Time Capsule or an external hard disk. It's inexpensive and reliable: two elements essential for a backup strategy, that no subscription service can offer.

    Hold the home and power button down until your phone restarts. If that doesn't work, backup and restore using iTunes.

    from the information you provided i can't tell if it is a hardware problem or a software problem. I do have an idea though, try to press your home button and lock button at the same time.

  • How do I get my email history off of my POP servers and BACK into Mail?

    I was trying to change the name of a folder in my OS 10.4 Tiger Mail application. It generated an error message, (I do not know the exact message) it said that I could not change the name of that folder. After the error message left the screen, ALL of the email in that folder disappeared. Including all of the email in the 24 sub-folders that I had created... Poof... Gone... My entire business email history for the past month.
    I was able to access my account info (through the Account Info panel) for all 4 of my POP accounts located on different POP servers. Thankfully, my email history has NOT been deleted off of those servers. So my question is:
    How do I get my email history off of my POP servers and BACK into Mail?
    I DO NOT want to delete ANY email from the servers, I just want to get my history back into Tiger Mail... Someone help me please...

    I spoke with Mac Tech Support. To get my messages from my server back into Mail, I was told to mark my email (on my webmail server) as unread. Mail will then know to pull these specific messages into my account.
    However, this is one of a handful of problems that I have been having with the Mail application. Just today I tried to create a new message by hitting NEW and the program crashed. This plus having all of my messages disappear and then having to reimport them isn't worth the effort. I've decided to stop using Mail completely.
    I was just told about Mozilla's Thunderbird email application. It's free and looks better than Mail. Do yourself a favor and go check out Thunderbird at:

    Sorry you can't.  Looks like your phone restore to an older backup.

  • I downloaded 4.0.1 and lost all my Yahoo toolbar apps but still have the Yahoo search bar. How can I get the apps back? Refreshing the "gear" does nothing.

    I have Windows XP and downloaded Firefox 4.0.1. After it was installed 5/7/11, I noticed all my Yahoo search bar apps were missing. Rebooting did not help. Neither did the "gear" on the toolbar next to the yellow Yahoo search box. Internet Explorer browser still shows them. How can I get the apps back in Firefox?

    I have Windows 7, the Yahoo toolbar has been working fine until today now all my apps are missing.
