How do I get rid of the "Yahoo" Menu Item

You appear to be first to mention the Yahoo menu item of those I've seen here, and there are some different versions of the '''Yahoo Toolbar''' maybe you have a different extension but this is how it goes for the Toolbar. You might check for another extension that has "Yahoo" in the name and in the Control Panel.
''Yahoo Toolbar messes up Location Bar Search''
'''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.

# '''filter on keyword'''
# right-click on '''keyword.URL''' and choose "modify" then paste in the Google search engine string of your choice.

  • How can we remove the scroll bars from the table?

    Hi,
    I have a dynamic table. Currently the table appears with the scroll bars. But there is a requirement that the scroll bar should not appear and the table should stretch in the entire page. How can this be achieved.
    Thanks in advance
    Nita

    Thanks Mohammad for the reply.
    Was able to remove the scroll bars by using only the styleClass as AFStretchWidth. But there is a default partition in middle of the page still? Can i remove that too by any way.

  • How do I remove the title bar from a Palm PDA front panel?

    On several PDA screens, I need all the real esate I can get. The title bar chews up a lot of it.  Is there any way, in the vi settings or programmatically, that I can remove the title bar?
    I've already tried the obvious step of unchecking "window has a title bar" in the window appearance catagory of the vi properties.  No apparent effect is seen.

    Hello,
    It sounds like you are referring to the GUI actually on your Palm devices.  I believe on Palm devices all applications have a title bar, and there isn't a way to get rid of it.  My guess is that perhaps this is a feature you can enable/disable as a Palm OS setting, or may simply be the way the Palm has defined its user interface.  If you have your Palm devices handy, check out the display settings to see any has an option to remove the title bars in general.  If you find out either way, definitely repost so the community can find the answer here as well!
    Thank you,
    Best Regards,

  • How do you remove a third party item from the system preference

    I am running Mt Lion 10.8.5 and need to remove the Norton Antivirus that is in the system preference. 
    What is the trick on getting it out of there?

    Hi,
    Read All on this one.
    The Disk or the Installer .dmg that you got for this should have an Uninstaller included.
    On a  Disk it may be a separate item.
    However sometimes it is an option choice during the Install screens.
    The web site for the app should also have instructions (in rare cases the Uninstaller is on the web site)
    Common "all user"  add-on Preferences Pane are stored in Had Drive Name/Library/PreferencesPanes
    The ones that come in the OS are in Hard Drive Name/System/Library/PreferencePanes
    Note the Path Bar displayed across both pics.  (Finder > View Menu > Show Path Bar).
    You also have a User Folder version Hard Drive Name/Users/(your account name)/Library/PreferencePanes (~/Library/PreferencePanes)
    You have to use the Finder > Go Menu > Go to Folder and type (Copy from here and Paste there) in the Dialogue box that appears  (use the ~/Library/PreferencePanes option)
    There is a good chance this one is empty.
    Broadly speaking though the more complicated the processes behind a Preference Pane or app the easier and better it is to remove it with the correct Uninstaller.
    Norton is Invasive !!
    USE THE UNINSTALLER Method

  • How do I remove the search bar that continues to reappear no matter how many times I manually remove it?

    For a short while now the search bar has been appearing on my Firefox browser. I don't want it there and removing it using the 'custom' settings when I click in a blank area in my browser does not work, it keeps coming back along with the 'bookmarks' button.
    No, there is nothing in my Add/Remove programs that resembles the search bar in any way, shape or form. I've already checked again and again, it's simply not there and not an option.
    Yes, I've checked if perhaps it were one of the plugins I use and that is not the case. I've removed all the plugins to check and it still appears.
    I don't want this bar there, it's annoying and I want it gone. No there are no options to remove it in its options. I don't care about how useful other people say it is, I find it annoying. Every time I open Firefox it's there...I want it gone.
    Refer to screenshot: http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t254/MasakoTomoe/untitled-2.jpg
    So, how do I get rid of it?

    Seems that may have worked and that's great, thank you. But now I have another problem which seems to be as persistent as the search bar has been.
    Now when I edit the bar and position of the buttons some of those buttons disappear when I click Ok in the customization, but reappear when I reopen the customization settings.
    Why is that? When I put a space in between some of the buttons the buttons near the space will disappear and leave a blank space where it should be.
    I'm beginning to be rather annoyed with this Firefox Beta to say the least and am considering returning to the version before it. Whatever I do now as far as customizing is concerned of the toolbar is reset every time I reopen Firefox. The buttons are no longer where I had set them up, the address bar is stretched to it's maximum, the Menu Bar is back the far left edge, buttons are missing that I had put there, and buttons I had removed are returned.
    :| I know it may seem insignificant to some people but it annoys the crap out of me. I understand this is a beta and if there is no solution then I perhaps will use the earlier version for a while.
    Thanks for your input by they way, it's much appreciated.

  • Using footage from my iPhone 4, how can I remove the black bars on the sides of my picture? Or change the color to white...

    My footage is vertical and there are two black bars on the side filling in the rest of the picture. I want to imbed this into PowerPoint without the black bars on the side. Any suggestions on how I can remove them or at least change the color to white? I changed the background color in View > Background > White, but it was only for editing purposes and didn't keep the color after rendering.

    To change the background to white, in FCE, place the video on track V2 and place a color matte generator on track V1.  The default color for the color matte is grey so you'll need to change it to white using the color picker.

  • How do I remove the blue bar which appears when I make text tracking changes in CS5?

    I have searched the preferences, but can't find an option to remove the ugly blue background which appears when you adjust the tracking of selected text. It really interferes with the design view, especially when working on large type sizes.
    Please can someone let me know how to get rid of this annoying feature!!
    thanks

  • How do I remove the tool bar: samfind?

    I recently down loaded your application : samfind and it includes a tool bar. I want to remove it from my computer. How do I do that?

    All add-ons get removed the same way.
    Go to the Add-Ons Window in Firefox - Control + Shift + A
    Click Remove to the right of the Add-On you want to Remove
    Restart your Browser.

  • Can someone tell me how to permanently remove the navigation bar so that a user cannot put it back himself. i do not want users to be able to browse to the local c:\ through this navigtion bar. using firefox 7. thanks

    i have locked down a client using policy editor for Windows 7.
    and i want to restrict a user to one website only via a firefox shortcut on the desktop and to restrict their access to the local system drive which is currently vulnerable using the navigation bar. i know how to right click and rmeove but the user can put this back himself quiet easily and then browse anywhere on the local machine or web.

    Even then it won't work.<br />
    If the location bar is hidden then you can use Ctrl+L to bring up a pop-up with a location bar.
    You would probably need to run Firefox in a sandbox that doesn't allow access to the local file system to get that working properly.

  • How can I remove the search bar/list of recent chats on my iMessage app.

    I don't want to delete all the convos. I want to just be able to ONLY see the chat of who I am talking to. No recents, etc. Currently, if i am using iMessage to talk to someone on my mac, a list of all the contacts I've messaged with appears on the side and it shows a preview of my chat.
    this is currently what it looks like... and i can push the edge over to only show the contact image cards (which i still do not want)
    I would rather it look like this: (a cropped screen shot)
    is this possible at all? or do i have to live with seeing at least the most recent contacts heads... lol thanks in advance........

    You can check on the <b>about:config</b> page if the browser.urlbar.autocomplete.enabled pref is set to false if you want to disable the location bar drop down list.

  • How do I remove the status bar from iPhone apps on the iPad?

    Whenever I go onto an iPhone app on my ipad I have recently had the status bar covering up some of my game. Here is an example: http://i.imgur.com/Q9xnYhT.jpg
    As you can see the score is hidden, I have gone through the settings and can't find anything,please help! It only started doing it when I reset my settings and updated to 7.1.

    Same problem...seems that this is for apps that are for iPhone and/or for both...but not for ones made just for iPad!

  • How do I remove the "Web" bar in F4 - I don't use any of the social sites

    A black toolbar with "Web" on the LHS has appeared in my latest version of FF. It is near the top of the page. How do I get rid of it - it is annoying and I don't use any of the sites it has (like Facebook or Twitter etc)

    That didn't come with Firefox4, something else installed that into Firefox.
    Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    # You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    # Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />
