I don't want Yahoo as my Firefox search engine; I want Google!! How do I get Yahoo out of my computer cause I can't find it in the control panel. It's like Yahoo's a Virus!!! AAAHHH
Yahoo infiltrated my computer by downloading a free program that i realized was no good. removed the program since, however yahoo is still here and replaced my google search engine on firefox. I can't find it on add/remove programs on my PC and it's driving me nuts. I now have to use google chrome. I miss my google firefox I've removed Firefox and re-downloaded it and it doesn't help. please help me
I just discovered a solution! Go to the upper right hand corner in Firefox where the search bar is. Click on the icon and you'll get a drop-down menu. Go to "manage search engines". You can then delete all the no-good ones, like Bing and Yahoo.

all of sudden a new search engine started in place of google and i cant get rid of that even i uninstalled and reinstalled many times but that problem still there,seem to be some some type of bug in latest firefox .
Hi naveen,
You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[Search bar]]. Your default search might have been changed by a particular site. Sites like MSN, Yahoo, etc have been know to ask to become your homepage and change your search engine.
If the address bar search has been changed as well, you might want to take a look at [[Location bar search]].
If that doesn't work you should look at the article [[Preferences are not saved]]. We've also got a [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/removing-babylon-searchqu-or-mystart list of common search related issues] that might be helpful.
Finally, your issue may be because you've been hit with some [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Is%20my%20Firefox%20problem%20a%20result%20of%20malware?s=malware&r=0&e=sph&as=s#w_how-do-i-get-rid-of-malware Malware].

Hi,
If it was installed as a Firefox extension you can try to '''Remove''' it in Firefox '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons''' > '''Extensions'''.

I use Google. My browser is set with Google.ca as my homepage and Google is my default search engine.
For a while I was getting messages asking me if I wanted to know how to make Yahoo my defaults...I managed to get rid of that crap...
But now I get bars popping up at the top of my screen asking me if I want to switch to Google...either my homepage or my default search engine...toss-up which one will come up when I open my browser.
Even though everything is set for Google I still get these obnoxious pushed "suggestions".
How do I get rid of these?
Right now it's looking like using IE is the only way...You will get them on IE. I suggest you also contact Google support, as this is also a problem on their end. I too have everything set to Google on both Firefox, Opera, IE, and Chrome and the only one not getting the annoying banners is surprising Google Chrome.

''Duplicate post, continue here - [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/816389]''
There are 3 different options for searching in Mozilla
# Open Google.com and start searching
# Enter your search string in Search bar
# Enter you text in address bar and press space bar and then press enter.
Now when I try to search through address bar then I found yahoo as my default search engine which I want to be changed to Google.com
Please tell me the way of changing this.This issue can be caused by an extension.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows) -
Tonight, for example, I have many tabs open which I'd like to close but re-open tomorrow.
I'd like to save them all as "April 30" in my Bookmarks... the 0ld version allowed me to do this, but I can't find this in the new version.
The only way I don't seem to lose those open tabs I'm working with is by doing "Contol + Delete", but I know this shouldn't be done all the time...
There must be a better way, but if there isn't, would I be able to get back and work with the old version?Please click the '''Helpful''' button next to the answer that solved your Firefox support issue, '''when you are logged in''', so this thread gets marked as '''Solved''' to help other users who may have this same problem.

i have a mac book pro with os x 10.5.8.......sometimes will not load google or yahoo, or any other search engine, but will load regular sites.....why is this?
Check System Preferences - Accounts
Choose you account - login items: If iTunesHelper
shows up - remove it it will prevent re-installation.
It did not have iTunes in the list, just mail and iCal alarm. Deadlines and emails are vital in my home office.
Now that I think about it, adding Mail to the list was the only thing that I had changed to the computer when this happened, but I can't imagine how that would alter permission to install on the OS.
