I "upgraded to Firefox 4 and suddenly Yahoo is my toolbar. How do I get rid of Yahoo??

The Yahoo toolbar appeared simultaneously with my upgrade to Firefox 4. I remember seeing a question, "Do I want the Yahoo toolbar." My intent was to say no...It might have been one of those tricky questions.
Anyway..how do I eliminate this Yahoo toolbar from across the top of my screen??
It really just bugs me that it bullieed its way in here..

  • Automatic update from microsoft explorer has compromised firefox browser and stopped it from working. How do I get rid of MS update. Already restored to an earlier time, did not work. Firefox is my default browser. Can you help?

    Firefox cannot get to the web because the MS update conflicts with my default browser FF. I tried a system restore point before the explorer 9 update, but it didn't clear the MS update troubleshooter with the FF logo and I can not get to my browser directly.

    I can't help you with that software in particular but I suggest you to try Xpadder, I also have the microsoft xbox 360 gamepad and it works as far as I know

  • I'm using Gmail on Firefox 6. I don't want my username and password automatically filled in. I don't see a tools menu. There's just one tiny "firefox" tab and no tools under it. How do I get rid of my username and password? NO autofill.

    Nobody has asked this question in the same way it seems.

    Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are logged on automatically to websites after closing and restarting Firefox?
    There is a difference between remembering the name and password in the Password Manager and a "remember me" check box on a web page.<br />
    The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and that is send to the server.<br />
    If that "remember me" cookie is removed or gets corrupted or is not send to the server then the server won't remember you and you need to sign in once again.

  • Safari and chrome have mal wear.  How do i get rid of it?

    safari and chrome have mal wear.  How do i get rid of it?

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
    You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

  • After upgrading I now have four operating systems on my Imac. how do I get rid of some

    after upgrading I now have four operating systems on my Imac. how do I get rid of some

    Very sorry it took so long to get back, I have tiger,leopard,snow leopard and lion still on the machine although i can't seem to find exactly where. I am sure that I don't need them all and they are just taking up disc space as it where. I thought that it would be good to clear some out but it is never a good idea to delete OS's when you are not sure what you are doing.  thanks

    Move cursor onto video.  Right click.  Click Settings,  Click the "never ask again" box. Then click Close.  That will work.
    For some reason, that always worked for me, but in the last two days, it does not work, and it seems to freeze on the
    video.  See, if it works for you.

  • I'm running OS 10.6.8.  A file (C1EC7F00) has appeared and can't be trashed.  How can I get rid of it?

    I'm running OS 10.6.8.  A file (C1EC7F00) has appeared and can't be trashed.  How can I get rid of it?

    Where has it appeared?
    You can forcibly remove it via the terminal..this will bypass flags/permissions preventing you from deleting it.
    sudo rm -rf /path/to/file/C1EC7FOO
    Note that the path to file needs to be the actual path. What you do is type sudo rm -rf , then just drag the file right into terminal and the path will be entered. Make sure there is a space between "-rf" and the "path." Make sure you copy the exact command and path to file. Make sure NOT to hit Return before you drag the file into terminal if you choose the latter method. This is a dangerous command if used improperly. Very effective, though, in cases such as yours.
    Once entered, hit return. Enter your password. Type "exit." Close Terminal.

  • What do I do if someone think their account to mine and I did not except that how do I get rid of it

    How do I do if someone think their account to mine and I did not except that how do I get rid of it

    It's not a virus. It's a JavaScript scam that only affects your web browser, and only temporarily. There are several ways to recover.
    1. Some of those scam pages can be dismissed very easily. Press the key combination command-W to close the tab or window. A huge box will pop up. Press the return key and both the box and the page will close. If that doesn't happen, continue.
    2. Press and hold command-W. You may hear repeating alert sounds. While holding the keys, click the OK button in the popup. A different popup may appear, which you can cancel out of as usual.
    3. From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and uncheck the box marked Enable JavaScript. Leave the preferences dialog open.
    Close the malicious window or tab.
    Re-enable JavaScript and close the preferences dialog.
    4. If the Preferences menu item is grayed out, quit Safari. Force quit if necessary. Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. None of the windows and tabs will reopen.
    After closing the malicious page, from the menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    to get rid of any cookies or other data left by the server. Open your Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.

  • 2008 IMAC Have lines going up and down on my screen. How do I get rid of them?

    I have a 2008 I Mac. I have several lines going up and down on the screen. How do I get rid of them?

    I wish I had a solution (and yours is a fairly recent Mac) but that symptom is similar to those of a failed screen. The repair is often $500-$1000! If you run an external monitor from this iMac, I'd try that to see if the problem goes away. If it is gone, then the screen itself on the iMac has gone bad and you can use an external monitor, they cost about $100 or so. If the lines also show up on an external monitor, then it is likely that your graphics chip has gone bad.
    Another thing to try -- boot into safe mode, as safe mode bypasses some of the more advanced graphics hardware. If the screen is ok, you might be able to use your computer in a lower graphics mode.
    Another thing to do: run the Apple hardware Test DVD that came with your Mac. It may pinpoint the problem immediately.

  • If Firefox has already downloaded the 30.0 update, how do I get rid of it so that it won't upgrade Firefox when I restart my browser?

    Please don't try to encourage me to use the new update. That is not what I am asking. The layout of Firefox 30 is not user friendly at all, and if I cannot continue to use 28, I will change to a different browser.
    What I need to know is how can I get rid of the update that just downloaded itself without warning and permission? I have ALREADY selected in the options menu for Firefox to not check for updates. Thanks to another user's post I was able to learn how to disable this completely in the about:config menu (why can't it be done in the settings? Why doesn't Firefox listen to its users? That's a whole other problem!)
    I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me how to delete the update, that appeared against my will, so that I will not be FORCED into using version 30 next time I run my browser.

    I have heard there is a bug with that version where the
    update options are ignored.

  • When signing onto my internet server, firefox brings up a box saying SERVICE CONFIGURATION, how do I get rid of this box and what does it mean?

    The box looks as follows:
