I really would like to know how to totally remove Yahoo toolbar from my Firefox browser as well as my computer. I don't like those special toolbars at all.

I really would like to know how to totally remove Yahoo toolbar from my Firefox browser as well as my computer. I don't like special toolbars at all. I find it irritating that you included one in the newest version of your browser. In the future I would hope you would leave this or any other out. Firefox used to be my favorite browser to use, now I am not going to want to use it because of the extra toolbar. Please tell me there is a way to remove this, not just hide it.

You can't move the Yahoo Toolbar from IE to Firefox, they are totally different "behind the scenes". However you can install it, [http://us.toolbar.yahoo.com/ http://us.toolbar.yahoo.com/] and I believe if you log in with your Yahoo account it will sync your data.

How do I remove a toolbar from my homepage that I don't want?

How do I remove a toolbar from my homepage that was added when I downloaded software?

What is the name of the toolbar?
It depends on how the toolbar was installed:
*Some are controlled by settings in the application that installed it
*Some are simple extensions and can be un-installed in Tools > Add-ons > Extensions
*Some are installed as programs and are un-installed in (Windows) Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs

Removing Yahoo Toolbar in Firefox 12

I cannot get rid of the Yahoo Toolbar in Firefox 12. It does not show up under extensions or add-ons.
I have eliminated all Yahoo programs (Toolbar, IM, and some updating program) in the control panel Add/Remove Programs.
I have restarted the Firefox in safe mode. There are still no Yahoo Add-ons or Extensions that show up.
I then went Help | Troubleshooting Information | Show Folder
I clicked on Show Folder.
There's a folder called "Yahoo! Inc". When I open Yahoo Inc., there's another folder called ytoolbar. I have deleted Yahoo! Inc both when Firefox was open and when it was closed. As soon as I restart Firefox, the Yahoo Inc. folder is recreated.
I am unable to remove the Yahoo Inc. folder permanently.
This is one invasive program.
How do I get rid of it?

I had problems following the discussion above. I managed to find the hidden directory containing all the Yahoo Toolbar files from this article: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
The directory is %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile folder>\extensions\<Yahoo Toolbar directory>
For example, mine was C:\Users\Chris Hollis\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\uh07uw1k.default\extensions\{635abd67-4fe9-1b23-4f01-e679fa7484c1}
Deleting this directory did get rid of the Yahoo Toolbar for me.

How do I remove yahoo toolbar I didn't install from Firefox, 4 is clean. I like clean.

Just recently started using FireFox 4. Is a great browser and I intend to install in my new computer later this afternoon. How do I remove/delete yahoo's toolbar? Yahoo is my email but I don't need their toolbar messing up FireFox.

I removed it by clicking on the "Tools" menu, then select "Add-Ons." Once the list populates, click on "Extensions," then locate the Yahoo Toolbar. Off to the right hand side you can click either "Disable" or "Remove." I disabled it, restarted Firefox 4.0 and no annoying Yahoo toolbar :)

HELP! How to remove Yahoo search from firefox 36.0.1? HELP!

I guess I made a big mistake upgrading to FireFox 36.0.1! Nothing but grief since trying to remove the Yahoo search from this version.
Didn't appreciate this version removing my default Home page tabs to use on startup. Looks like they are gone forever - not happy!
I have tried many if not all forms of advice to remove this yahoo search from my home page to no avail. I even uninstalled it and made sure I got a non Yahoo version from the Mozilla site. Still no help.
1) I have tried changing keyword.URL via about:config - no help
2) I have tried changing the Search - Change Search Settings - no help
3) I tried bringing up a single tab with Google and using General options to Use Current Page - no help
4) I tried the same using many other tabs without Google - no help
5) I have removed Yahoo and others from the Search options - no help
6) Uninstalled and reinstalled a "CLEAN" version from Mozilla site - no help
7) Retried 1 thru 5 above again - no help
8) Checked the Shortcut Target in Mozilla FireFox Properties - no help
Get the idea? No matter what, Yahoo comes back every time I open FireFox. Which means I cannot use a set of tabs as my default any more. WHY????
Looks like it may be time to severe my long time use of this browser since the beginning with NetScape in the earliest of days with PC's. Too Bad.

This worked. The problem is the user.js file was changed. See below:
User.js file overriding preferences
If you don't have any of the above programs installed, or if you followed the suggestions and single preferences still aren't being saved, you may have to edit Firefox's configuration files yourself. Don't panic, it's pretty easy. Here's how to do it.
Open your profile folder:
Click the menu button New Fx Menu , click help Help-29 and select Troubleshooting Information. The Troubleshooting Information tab will open.
Under the Application Basics section, click on Show Folder. A window with your profile files will open.
Note: If you are unable to open or use Firefox, follow the instructions in Finding your profile without opening Firefox.
Click the menu button New Fx Menu and then click Exit Close 29
Open the file user.js with a text editor (like Notepad).
If there is no user.js file, these steps won't help you.
Remove the lines for the options you want to be able to change. You can delete all the lines if you want to be able to change everything.
Save the file and close the text editor.
You should now be able to change your Firefox settings.

How do I remove Yahoo toolbar?

Hi, Somehow Yahoo toolbar has downloaded onto my pc. Yes I have downloaded a new software but it never asked me if I wanted Yahoo. I am very vigilant when I download software & I swear there was no mention of Yahoo.
I've been to the remove a software from the control panel on my windows 7 pc but there is no mention of Yahoo.
I've also checked the extensions on Firefox add ons but there is no Yahoo there either.
I've even removed Yahoo from the Registry and...
Yahoo still comes up!!!
I've searched various forums etc & none of them mention the problem I have.
Does anyone please know how to remove this toolbar I do not want from my pc?
Any help please would be appreciated.

okay while in the mist of posting that I was doing some digging in other hidden file areas....get ready to cheer all...i think we can nuke it now.
travel on your windows 7 boxes to C:\Users\<your user name here>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\uh07uw1k.default\extensions\{635abd67-4fe9-1b23-4f01-e679fa7484c1}
take note that there are a bunch of yahoo files and folders hidden inside there....
NUKE (delete) the folder 635abd67-4fe9-1b23-4f01-e679fa7484c1 an yahoo toolbar and all of its trash is gone.if its not named the same for you just keep hunting in there and compare the install date of the toolbar and the date the files where made and you too can be free of this massive pain in the @$$ yahoo has created to collect data an just down right annoy you with.
Hope that this has helped all of you.....

Cannot uninstall Yahoo toolbar from Firefox

I'm reposting part of another thread that was closed because no one is actually listening to the people that are posting the problem.
Quote:
I had the same problem, after I installed Yahoo Messenger. I asked not to install the toolbar, but it was installed. Then I uninstalled it, I disabled it from addons, yet, the toolbar was there no matter what I did. I uninstalled Firefox, reinstalled, with the download from mozilla, the toolbar was still there. I did all that one has to do in order to uninstall a piece of software, without being "the tech guy". I do not have the same problem in Chrome or Internet Explorer. It was uninstalled from all other browsers when I removed the program from control panel. I can't see what I can do to get rid of it. I choose to just hide it for now, but it bugs me that I have a piece of software that behaves like a virus, doing stuff I don't want it to do. And for the record, I am not confused about the search for yahoo and toolbar for yahooo. Right clicking on the interface, allowed me to check or uncheck exactly that "yahoo toolbar".
/quote
This is exactly my problem as well.
In the other thread several people said 'disable it in your add-ons' Well as the poster above mentioned and I can confirm **it is not in the add-ons area**
Others said 'use the add/remove function in the control panel' and as the poster above mentioned and once again I can confirm **I did this and it no longer shows up under add/remove but the toolbar is still annoyingly there**
Yet others said 'you must have downloaded a special yahoo version of Firefox' No, we (or at least I) didn't. The toolbar was installed when I installed Yahoo messenger
-I can't believe a 'clean install' of Firefox is the answer to this problem--if so this is just ridiculous.
If there is no actual answer, I can accept that but I am frustrated that people are posting responses that very clearly are not the right answers because the people posting the problems were very clear about the issues.
Thanks for reading, please assist if you can.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

FireFox has become infected with a nasty virus known as "Dynamic Pricer." I have successfully removed the virus from IE and Chrome, but I cannot seem to get it out of FireFox. I've reset the browser, deleted all history and the program, then downloaded again, but it persists.
Please help! Does anyone know how to kill it once and for all? Any suggestions are appreciated.

How do I remove a password from Firefox's memory

When I first signed in to my gmail account after downloading Firefox 8, I was asked if I wanted to have Firefox remember this password for me. I accidentally clicked Remember this Password, when I really meant Never Remember this Password. I want to remove this password from my computer's memory because my hotmail account was hacked, and I don't want that to happen again.

Use iTunes (as you will have to now) and reset the phone as a new activation and start clean.

How do I remove a toolbar from a program that accidentally installed on mmy computer?

I was online today and a program I wanted installed on my computer changed all my firefox settings. I was able to reset my home page, but there is a huge toolbar I don't know how to get rid of. I can't find the program on my computer uninstall it. I'm not sure what to do to get rid of the program or the toolbar.
Thanks,
Karen

Usually you can disable or remove toolbars here:
Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions category
If it there is a Disable button but not a Remove button, it usually means you have to return to the Windows Control Panel Add/Remove Programs to remove it.

How do i remove search-gol from firefox?!! It is not in addons or extenstions and I am worried to reload firefox as i dont want to lose faves or current session

I always use Google as my firefox search engine.
However i must have accidentally downloaded a file that has now set up search-gol as my search engine and i want to get rid of it.
Info to do this strangely doesn't appear anywhere on google searches.
Mozilla says to go into addons/extensions etc but the search engine isn't listed anywhere.
I have also unistalled any programmes that i have recently downloaded but this search-gol think won't go.
I am worried about uninstalling firefox and reinstalling it as i have about 500 favourites and i don't want to lose them and my current browsing session.
Can anyone tell me how to get rid of this annoying search engine rubbish?
Thanks

Follow the removal guide here:
http://deletemalware.blogspot.com/2013/10/search-gol-removal-guide.html
You don't need to reset Firefox, just remove the preferences associated with SearchGol.
And don't forget to scan your computer with anti-malware software.
Cheers!
