How to remove us.search.yahoo tab hijack?

when I open a new tab in 33.0, us.search.yahoo is the default page. How do I change this?

Hi,
It sounds like a setting was changed on your new tab page. These changes are usually caused by third-party toolbars or add-ons. I understand that you would like to know how to change it back. Not a problem, please follow the steps below: <!--Experiment 1-->
# In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
# Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''' to continue to the about:config page.
# Type '''browser.newtab.url''' in the search box to find it on the list.
# Double-click on '''browser.newtab.url''' and type in ''about:newtab'' in the window that pops up.
Restart Firefox and open a new tab to make sure the change was made. If there is any issues with plugins please also see: [[Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems]]
Please post back with your results, we are happy to help.
Thanks for contacting!

    Set Yahoo as you home page, and set firefox to open the homepage when it starts. (Not to open previous pages).
    * see [[how to set the home page]] for detailed instructions <br/> all you need to do is drag the icon whilst you are on the page you require

    You shouldn't disable Spotlight completely; Apple's App Store relies on it to keep track of updates to software you've downloaded and permit you to update them when they're available. Instead, in Spotlight preferences, uncheck everything in "Search Results." Spotlight will still run for OS and App Store purposes but won't be useful for your search needs any longer. Instead, check out EasyFind in the App Store. It's fast, flexible, and will search external drives Spotlight hasn't indexed.

  • How to remove the search bar in the tab strip?

    My latest firefox update includes a search bar IN THE TAB STRIP on top of the page (not the one in the navigation toolbar). It takes up too much space for the tabs and it is useless (since there is already a search bar below it in the navigation toolbar). How do I remove it?

    I was able to fix the problem in Safe Mode. It was an extension disguised as a Firefox original part, named itself as "firefox default tabs." I am not sure how I got it since I have not downloaded anything recently. My Kaspersky did not block anything as well. But, huge thanks!

  • How to remove the search bar from new tab page?

    I've added extra pinned site rows and columns on the new tab page.
    The new search bar is redundant and space hogging.
    Please provide how to disable in step by step instructions :)
    Edit:
    Answer
    1. Go to Firefox Profile Folder (go to about:support in Firefox then click Open folder/Show in Finder to get there)
    2. Open or create the chrome folder in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    3. Create a blank text file, copy and paste this code into the text file.
    @-moz-document url(about:newtab)
    #newtab-search-container, #newtab-search-logo { display:none !important; }
    #newtab-margin-top, #newtab-search-container { display:none!important; }
    4. Save it as userContent.css (using ALL FILES under the drop down menu)
    5. Place the new css file into the chrome folder.

    Fox_1923: You're not supposed to create a new chrome file but a <b>userContent.css</b> file in the <b>chrome</b> folder.
    You can use mine and <b>cor-el's</b> code together in the userContent.css file to get rid of the large margin in the top along with the search box. I've used it just fine in the latest Nightly and so have others who dislike the search box.
    One thing you could be doing wrong is not setting the file type to all Files and Notepad or whatever else you are using is adding an unneeded extension (for Windows, .txt = userContent.css.txt doesn't work!)
    See this for clarification:

  • How to remove do searches virus

    DO SEARCHES has hijacked firefox. how do I remove it

    It sounds like you have a third party program that has taken over your search engine, home page, and/or the default new tab page. Fortunately, this can be remedied easily:
    # At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP), and then click Add-ons. The Add-ons Manager tab will open.
    # In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Extensions panel.
    # Select the toolbar you wish to remove.
    # Click the remove button.
    # Click "Restart now" if it pops up. Your tabs will be saved and restored after the restart.
    After Firefox restarts, install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Search Reset Tool]. This will remove the rest of the traces of this program from your Firefox.
    For further information, please read [[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]].

  • How to remove ICQ Search from Firefox

    Are you an ICQ-user? Have you ever wanted to have your own search engine instead of theirs? Even when you uninstall the ICQ Search Toolbar in "Add/Remove Programs", delete the extension in Firefox's Add-ons and restart your browser, it still not completely gone! You may not have noticed this, but the simple reason is that ICQ.com doesn't actually care what people do and don't want running when you install their instant-messaging software onto your computer...
    Luckily, you're not alone in this regard and there is a solution if you follow these instructions carefully:
    1) Type in the address bar "about:config" (without quotes). You will receive a warning here about changing advanced settings, so don't uncheck the box and just click the button to proceed.
    2) In the filter bar, type icq and press enter.
    3) Change the '''browser.search.defaultenginename''', '''browser.search.defaultengine''' and '''browser.search.order.1''' to Google.co.uk
    4) Change '''keyword.URL''' to http://www.google.co.uk/#sclient=psy-zb&hl=en&source=hp&q=
    This is the default string for a keyword search through the address bar in Google, but if you use another search engine, type a word into it and simply copy the string created for that, minus the word itself!
    5) Right-click to modify "extensions.testpilot.surveyAnswers.broken_extensions_survey" list and copy it to notepad.
    6) Delete the ICQ Toolbar Parameter -- carefully make sure you observe how each parameter is listed so you get it all.
    7) Copy and paste the new parameters list into the Modify box.
    8) Close all Firefox windows, and then open them again.
    That's it! Unfortunately Firefox doesn't allow you to fully delete the ICQ parameters from the about:config area - perhaps that requires ICQ's uninstall, or a complete reinstall of Firefox - but with this information you should have your search engine back to normal.
    Unless you properly know how the rest of those functions work, I also suggest you don’t modify them.

    See attachment. Select Bueno search engine and click Remove.
    If it keeps coming back you've probably got some unwanted program on your system. A scan with a good AV and a Malware scanner ([https://www.malwarebytes.org/ Malwarebytes]) is recommended.

  • How to remove default search button in search module

    I am a neophyte with code and css and normally work with Muse. But I am currently trying to customize the appearance of the search module so that it works with the website it will be serving. I have  accomplished a large part of what I've been attempting, but have hit a snag in removing the default search button (CAT_Search). I've placed the image I want to use no problem, but it is contained in some weird gray beveled box with the original 'Search' text overlapping my image.
    I have been making the rounds of tech support, tutorials, and every documented article on the search module and can find nothing that address this specific issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I am enclosing the what I've done so far below.
    Thanks!

    Hi Ramandeep Nanda,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I followed a slightly different approach than the one mentioned in your post.
    I have not used any client side javascript attributes.I got the inputListOfValues Component from the launch listener event ( launchPopupEvent.getComponent() ) and in the launch listener i am setting richQuery.setModeChangeVisible(false);
    It is hiding the button now but only for the first invocation of the search dialog, it is not working.
    More specifically, for the first invocation of the search dialog, Iterator facetNames = inputListOfValues.getFacetNames(); is not returning the child components and hence the button is not being hidden.
    Any idea why this might be happening?
    Thanks,
    Vikas

    Tlb search male ware unfortianatily entered my mac. I can't find a method to remove it.

    It may have become worse over time and it doesn't affect all sites. But is does affect essentially all large news sites, such as newspapers all over the world. Just checked that it affects svd.se a major swedish newspaper.
    Here is a recent screenshot of a NY Times page and another screenshot when moving the cursor over one of the underlined words.

  • How to remove the colors of tab?

    In fact,I was confused with that I couldn't catch which tab was actived in Firefox14.0.1 .
    How can I close the tab I'd browsed?
    The tabs were colorful ,but I wish a uncomplicated view.

    Tabs aren't colored in the default Firefox installation. You have an add-on that added that feature to Firefox.

  • OAM: dunno how to remove objectclass from the tab Employee

    Hi,
    I have the default tab "Employee" under "Identity System Console"->"User Manager Configuration" -> Tabs.
    I added an objectclass created by me for test purpose and now I'd like to remove it, but it seams impossible from the console... I achieved this modifying the object in the LDAP server and restarting the Identity server.
    Is there a more friendly way to do this? Same question for the list of objectclasses under "Identity System Console"->"Common configuration"->"Objectclasses".
    Thanks.
    Cheers.

    Case 1)If your are LDAP server is Oracle Internet Directory, Go to Schema Managment--> delete the corresponding objectclass from OID.
    Restart your Identity Server and OID server.
    Case 2) Under o=oblix,dc=myorg,dc=com, delete your customized objectclass obclass=<customizedobjectclass>
    Restart your Identity Server and OID server.
