I want to delete the Yahoo toolbar. Selected "Tool" then "add-ons".but add-on page won't load, loading icon keeps spinning for an hour. Re-booted, but same.

I looked at some of the suggested fixes and did click on Extensions then back to Add-ons, but still won't load. I also un-clicked so that add-ons aren't automatically updated, but it still won't load.

First, if the active category on the left side of the Add-ons page is '''Get Add-ons''', click '''Extensions''' to bypass whatever is loading and go directly to the area likely to have the toolbar. (I think it's loading a page of popular add-ons, which isn't very relevant to what you want to do.) Does that work?
If that doesn't work, you could try disabling all add-ons first and see whether that makes a difference. You can do this using Firefox's Safe Mode dialog.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, restart Firefox in Firefox's Safe Mode ([[Safe Mode]]) using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the Safe Mode dialog, check just the box to "Disable all add-ons" then click Make Changes and Restart. Does this allow you to access the Add-ons page?

  • I want to remove the yahoo toolbar that was added when I updated Adobe Flash. Neither Yahoo or Firefox provides info that works.

    I want a simple way to remove the Yahoo Tool bar.

    Have you tried un-installing that Yahoo Toolbar extension from Firefox?
    Tools > Add-ons > Extensions <br />
    Locate that extension in the list, and click on it. You should see an '''Uninstall''' button, use it, and then restart Firefox.

  • I want to remove the yahoo toolbar and the avg toolbar, but how

    It take a long time to load firefox. I see a avg tool bar, and also a yahoo tool bar. I would like to remove them.

    Firstly you should be able to easily disable them by right clicking on a empty spot on the toolbars and they should appear in the right click popup menu. Deselecting could be enough, but if you are like me and want to remove them completely:
    They should be listed as extensions in your add-on manager. '''Tools > Add-ons''' (or Ctrl+Shift+A)
    When you find it, there should be a few buttons next to it. If you don't see a button that says "Remove", Restarting Firefox in safe mode could sometimes do the trick.
    '''Start > Run, type "firefox -safe-mode" ''' (without the "quotations") '''and hit enter.
    If you still cant find any remove button next to those toolbars you want removed, try to find and uninstall them via windows '''Add or Remove Programs''' that you can find in your Control Panel. '''Start > Settings > Controll Panel'''
    It could often be a headache trying to removing add-ons and extensions, hopefully it goes smoothly for you this time.

  • I clicked the getting started button. Just to see. I did not download. I have lost the yahoo toolbar and have an orange box, top left of page. I want it back the way it was. Help ?

    It seems to me that what I said is quite clear and I do not know what else to add to it

    Does the orange box say "Firefox"? Click that button to access a combined set of menus. Or, to restore the classic menus, tap the Alt key and choose
    View menu > Toolbars > Menu Bar
    That same menu area lets you show or hide your other toolbars.
    Can you get it back to the way you want?

  • I Want To Duplicate The Songs In a Playlist Then Edit Them (But Keep The Originals Intact)

    I've done this before I can't remember how ...
    I've made a special playlist.  Now I want to share that and rename the album name and the artwork for this special event -- but I want to keep the originals with original infor.
    I thought there might be some sort of "duplicate" command but I'm not seeing it.
    Wht I figure I do is take the playlist, highlight all the songs, go to advanced, Creat AAC Version and then on the AAC copies do the command i and edit information for multiple songs.  That way I keep the originals as is and have a playlist with "Happy Birthday" as the album name and a picture of a birthday cake as the album artwork.
    Is there an easier way?
    Thanks

    Thanks Limnos.
    I know I'm close but I'm still missing something.  At least you agree there is a "duplicate" function out there.
    Now ... what am I doing wrong?
    When I highlight tracks then hit Command R nothing happens.  When I hit Command D I hear a faint electronic bong sound and nothing else.  When I right click I get:
    And when I click on the Advanced tab I see:
    Any advice?
    Thanks

  • I cannot remove the Yahoo toolbar. it does not appear as an add on

    I have the latest version of Firefox (33.1). I want to remove the yahoo toolbar and disable the yahoo seach function from the address bar (and replace it with google). But when I go to add ons, there is no yahoo in either the plug ins or extebsions. So I cannot delete/remove. What should I do
    Thanks

    It might just be that your search bar (the bar to the right of the address bar) is set to Yahoo, try changing it back to Google. To do that, on the search bar click the icon or the down triangle to display the list of search engines, and select Google from that list.
    If that doesn't fix your problems, did you download Firefox from the official Mozilla site? Sometimes if you search on Google or any search provider, they sometimes have "Advertised links" which are sometimes Firefox bundles that have been slightly modified/shipped with malicious software.
    * https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
    * https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    If you did download from a different website and believe that to be the cause, you can report the link here:
    * https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/legal/fraud-report/
    Check your list of install programs in Windows - Control Panel > Programs and Features. Usually malware comes bundled with other applications, so if you sort by date and see several applications installed at the same day, it may be easier to find suspicious applications that way.
    You can try the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Search Reset Tool]. It is an extension that will reset your home page, new tab and search settings back to the default then uninstall itself. If you find that its changes are being undone, please see the article [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
    If none of the above work, and you don't have too many extensions, you can also try the Reset Firefox feature which can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information. '''Note:''' After resetting Firefox, you will lose any extensions, toolbar customizations, and some preferences. See the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article for more information.

  • I just downloaded Firefox 5 and it said that my Yahoo toolbar will not work with it. Is this true? If so I will not use this new version and will switch to another browser if Firefox stops supporting the Yahoo toolbar. Thank you.

    Add-ons contain a range of compatible Firefox versions, and Firefox honors the listed range by disabling the add-on if you are trying to run it on an unlisted version.
    I'm sure Yahoo! will update its toolbar eventually, but not every add-on maker supports beta versions of software.

  • Can someone tell me the steps to get rid of the Yahoo toolbar. I have gmail and the right homepage , and when I updatede Firefox I said I didn't want the Yahoo toolbar, but it is there anyway and I don't know how to get rid of it.

    I just want to get rid of the **** Yahoo toolbar! If not, I want to go back to the previous version of Firefox. Can someone help me with the steps to do either one of these, Please!!!

    I just figured out how to remove it. Go to the Tools menu and select add-ons. Click on extensions, locate Yahoo Toolbar in the list, and off to the right, you can click on "Disable" or "Remove." I disabled, restarted Firefox 4.0, and bingo, no annoying Yahoo toolbar. Hope this helps!

  • Had the Yahoo toolbar, which the current version of Firefox has deleted. Instead I put my Yahoo toolbar links on the Firefox bookmark toolbar. Rest of question in details.

    Instead of just having the icons and being able to hover over them to see what they are (in case I forgot) the Firefox toolbar shows the icon and the name- which takes up a lot of room on the tool bar and not all my icons show. Can I change this? It's annoying not to see all the icons as in the Yahoo toolbar I want to see either the icons of my shortcuts only - or I want to shorten up the tab size of the shortcuts so I can show more of them without shortening up the tabs at the top of the page.

    Try this extension. <br />

  • I want to delete the last 2 sheets in a Pages document.  I select them in the thumbnails. But I can't delete them.  The 1st pages, the ones I want to keep, are the ones that are deleted.  What do I do?

    I want to delete the last 2 sheets in a Pages document.  I select them in the thumbnails, but can't delete them.
    When I choose delete, the 1st five pages are deleted.
    What do I do?

    "2) The last page, p 6,  is not in a Section.  When I delete p 6 ....pages 2 - 6 are deleted.
    Only page 1 remains."
    Every page in a Pages word processing document is "in a section". It may be the only page in its section, or it may be in the same section as several other pages. From the behaviour you are describing, I'd suspect your document has two sections: section 1 contains only Page 1, section 2 contains pages 2 to 6.
    When you click on the Page 6 icon in the sidebar to the left of the page, you'll see a yellow border around all or part of that page icon.
    If the yellow border contains only page 6, then Page 6 is in a section by itself, and pressing delete will delete only page 6.
    If the yellow border contains page 6 AND any other pages, then all of the pages within that yellow border are in the same section, and pressing delete (while the icons are selected) will delete all of the pages in that section.
    To delete only page 6 (the last page in the document) you need to either:
    Delete any text content (including invisible characters, and preferably including any other objects) on that page, following the suggestions by Peter above,
    OR
    Click immediately after the last text character on Page 5, then go Insert > Section Break to place Page 6 into a section of its own. Then click on the Page 6 icon in the sidebar, check that the yellow border encloses only page 6, and press delete.
    Regards,
    Barry
    PS: It's pretty easy to add extra pages to a document without seeing the invisible characters that cause the page to appear. Not as easy as it was in Appleworks, fortunately where the personal record for one of my Grade 5 students was a 3 page document with over 1000 extra blank pages sent to a printer. AppleWorks read the enter key as a column break (which acts like a page break on a single column document). On a keyboard with a number pad, enter is in a very convenient location to rest a book (or an arm) while thinking about your writing (or chatting with your neighbor).

  • I want to remove windows explorer 7 and the Yahoo toolbar, if this cannot be done I will find another browser!

    I think this is pretty basic. Your browser has always been user friendly and allowed a high level of personalization. I don't like Yahoo toolbar thinking for me. I don't like the intrusive windows explorer 7. I am disturbed that you choose to base your system on this parasite. You have sold us out!
    Looking for a new browser!

    You can remove the Yahoo Toolbar. It probably got installed as an "optional" item when you installed some other software from the internet, maybe because you did not un-check the option to install that extra item.

    If by saying '''''"remove windows explorer 7"''''', are you referring to '''Internet Explorer 7'''? How do you plan to keep Windows up to date? The Windows/Microsoft update site requires Internet Explorer on your system to use the site.
    As for:
    *'''''"I am disturbed that you choose to base your system on this parasite. You have sold us out! Looking for a new browser!"'''''
    Firefox is not related to or based on Internet Explorer or any other browser. What ever gave to that idea?
    Why are you using such an old version of Firefox? Your version is 3.5.7 which is no longer supported and no longer being updated, even for security related issues.

  • I want to add the Yahoo toolbar that is already on my computer with Internet Explorer. Is there a way to import it? I went to "add a toolbar" but that did nothing.

    Nothing much else to say; what I wrote is self-explanatory. I have the Yahoo toolbar on my computer and have used it for a long, long time with Internet Explorer. I have downloaded Firefox though because the upgraded Explorer is giving me fits and keeps freezing the page. So how can I put the Yahoo toolbar on the Firefox page to use? Can I import it or do I need to reinstall it?

    Firefox needs a different toolbar than IE, so you need to install the Yahoo! Toolbar for Firefox.
