I updatedn firefox and it put a yahoo tool bar on my start page how do i get rid of it. i do not see anywhere to delete or uninstall the yahoo toolbar

i was in firefox doing something and i got a message stating that i needed to update firefox to 28 so l clicked and installed it. well it also installed a freaking yahoo annoying tool bar that i cannot delete. its not in my installed programs so i cannot delete from there. i tried right clicking on an empty space on the tool bar to see if i could get rid of it there and i cannot. can someone tell me how to get rid of it. or tell me how to go back to my previous version for firefox if that will get rid of it. otherwise i just might uninstalled firefox and then reinstall

hello, please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc).
<br>also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there.
<br>finally, run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

  • The curser includes a text box from a previous image or link when the curser is positioned on the side of the page. i click and it goes away but only to return again on the next launched page. how do i get rid of this?

    the cursor includes a text box from a previous image or link when the cursor is positioned on the side of the page. it will mainly happen when i hit "back" from the page i was on. i click and it goes away but only to return again on the next launched page. i also keep several tabs open and it will carry over to any one of them i go to. how do i get rid of this?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == when i upgraded to most recent version 3.6.8

    A number of extensions can cause that problem, you'll need to do a little troubleshooting to find out which extension is causing that to happen for you.

  • How can I edit / delete items in the "Ask" tool bar? (e.g. I want to get rid of Facebook and You Tube)

    I would like to control what items appear on the Ask tool bar and in what order they are displayed. In particular, I would like to get rid of the Facebook, YouTube, CNN, and Fun Games buttons which I see on this tool bar.

    Please do the following.<br><br>
    #In the location bar where you normally type in a web address, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter.<br><br>
    #If you see a window which says "This might void your warranty!", click the button which says "I'll be careful, I promise" so you can continue with the next step.<br><br>
    #In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL'''<br><br>
    #Double click it and remove whatever's in there and replace it with http://www.google.com/search?q= and then click OK.<br><br>
    #Close the tab
    The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.
    '''To reset your home page, do the following'''.<br><br>
    * Go to the site you want to set as your homepage.<br><br>
    * Click the Firefox button, go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''.<br><br>
    * Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu.<br><br>
    * Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen.<br>
    If this suggestion resolves the problem for you, please click the '''Solved it''' button next to this post after you log in into the forum. This will help others searching for a solution to the same problem.

  • Since downloading ios5 on my iphone 4 the capacity guage in itunes shows other as over 21Gb and i can no longer fit any music on it. How do I get rid of the other stuff? other

    Since downloading ios5 on my iphone 4 a few days ago, the capacity guage in itunes shows "other" as over 21Gb and i can no longer fit any music on my iphone.
    How do I get rid of the other stuff?
    capacity available on 32 Gb iphone is 28.49Gb
    i previously had 21.97 Gb music, over 6 Gb photos, about 1Gb of apps, and minute amount of audio
    now i have no music, 5.4 Gb photos and similar (0.8Gb) for  apps and audio. i have deleted heaps of photos and unused apps to try to make space but obviosly this is a much bigger problem. I also created a smaller music folder on itunes to sync to but at present no music is selected for syncing due to the lack of available space.
    i have 15Gb icloud account now also which is about half full.
    Ive done a little research and heard similar tales but with much smaller other totals than this. Can you help?
    i cant update my apps as i get a message saying i do not have enough available space.

    I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
    Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

  • What is "other" listed on my iPhone 4S and why is it sucking up so much storage space?  How can I get rid of it?

    How can I get rid of the huge "other" listed on my storage of my iPhone?  It's taking up huge gigs.  This phone is not even 60 days old!

    This worked for me with iPhone 5:
    Backup iPhone in iTunes
    in iPhone>Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and Settings
    in iTunes> Restore iPhone with previous Backup (point 1)
    There is no need to reset the iPhone with iTunes and no need to manually resync apps and content.
    You will have your "new" iPhone with all your apps, settings and media just like before
    with only a mere 500 mb (0,5gb) of "other" memory.

  • After updating a program (Family Tree Builder), I started Firefox and now have a special tool bar for My Genealogy every time I start up....did not ask for it, don't want it....deleted the program, but how do I fix Firefox?

    I then deleted Firefox as a program and lost all my bookmarks, special apps....how do I delete the special tool bar (and start page) without having to delete Firefox and my setups.

    Hi ed652gray. You may uninstall the toolbar on the Control Panel, using the "Uninstall a program" option. Look for something like "Family Tree Builder Toolbar" or "My Genealogy Toolbar".
    If you only want to hide the toolbar, you can check this article:

  • I have two firefox icons running horizontally at the bottom of my home page, how do I get rid of Firefox (2)?

    Don't think I need two FireFox icons, especially the one that says FireFox (2)

    I am guessing that this is just something pinned to the Windows launcher, and so someone more familiar with Windows may do better at answering it.
    If you attach a screenshot it may help me understand what you are seeing
    *[[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?]]
    Note however there is a problem with some Firefox installations on Windows,and that the registry could have been updated incorrectly so that you appear to have 2 copies of windows when only one is present. <br/>In such circumstances do NOT try uninstalling or you loose Firefox, and do NOT use any option to remove personal information,becaause that tries to destroy bookmarks, passwords and other settings from all normally installed versions of Firefox.

  • Firefox start page has been replaced with foxstart, how do I get my firefox start page back, I cannot get rid of foxstart

    This appeared after a re-install due to a virus. On installing Firefox 6 it immediately went to foxstart as a home page, I cannot get rid of this or get back to the firefox start page, I have uninstalled Firefox and re installed but still get the same problem. The web indicates that this is now a problem for many of your users so it looks as if a fix needs to be generated to provent this happening. Hope you can resolve this problem. Many thanks. dave
