  • Can't get rid of Yahoo on toolbar after installing flash player

    I installed the latest Flash player yesterday on Firefox. I had Google on the toolbar for searching, but after I installed flash, it was replaced by Yahoo. Now I can't get rid of Yahoo. I've gone through Firefox's instructions, I've gone through the control panel, I even uninstalled flash player. But Yahoo is still there. I want it gone! How do I get rid of it???

    See: "How
    to Reset Internet Explorer settings".
    Then...
    1. Please download and run the Microsoft
    Safety Scanner tool (freeware).
    2. Reboot your PC.
    3. Please download and update Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
    Free
    4. Reboot Windows in Safe
    Mode and run a Full
    Scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
    If still no joy...
    5. Download and Run AdwCleaner, RogueKiller and Junkware
    Removal Tool (Freeware)
    6. Reboot and Test.

  • How do I get rid of "Yahoo! Search - Web Search" that comes up every time I click on a new tab?

    How do I get rid of "Yahoo! Search - Web Search" that comes up in address bar every time I click on a new tab? I have to delete it in order to go to the site I want. Very annoying. I can not find it in program file.

    Got this fixed.
    I deleted Yahoo as a search engine.
    To do this: on the right hand side of a toolbar there is a pull down menu which contains "manage search engines". Select this and remove "Yahoo".
    BTW: the "Tools" - "Options" - "remove hardware acceleration.. " did not work.

  • I want to get rid of Yahoo which was part of a download.

    I agreed to a Firefox download. What was downloaded was Yahoo pages and toolbar. I don't want them. How can I get rid of this.

  • Do not want Yahoo tool bar, want google. get rid of Yahoo toolbar?

    I have not been able to find how to get rid of "piece of garbage" Yahoo tool bar....

    Normally, you can remove toolbars, which are a type of add-on known as an Extension, on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then you should find it listed on the right side. If there is no Remove button, then you usually need to find it in the Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program, and remove it there.
    Success?
    If you installed the "Yahoo edition" of Firefox by accident, you can switch to the regular release by downloading the installer from the following page and running it (no need to remove your existing setup):
    https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/
    You might still need to clean up a few settings, but let us know how you do.

  • I want to get rid of Yahoo as my default tool bar, and everything it came with.

    I was asked some time ago if I wanted to choose Yahoo as my toolbar, and I accidentally said yes. I want the original toolbar back, with the Google search box, no animated weather, facebook ebay tabs, etc. Going to Customize and choosing default settings didn't do it. Help!

  • I want to get rid of the Bing screen but there is no "menu at the top of the Firefox window" for me to "select Tools and then select the Add-ons menu item. "

    I suddenly have a "Bing" screen when I sign onto Firefox---and I want to get rid of it. The support section of Firefox says
    1. "From the menu at the top of the Firefox window, seledt Tools and then select the Add-ons menu item."---but I see no "menu item" nor Tools, much less Add-ons.
    2. "In the Add-ons window, click on the Extensions panel."---but how do I find the Add-ons window?
    3. Find the Bing Bar and Search Helper Extension in the list and click Disable for each of them."---but what and where exactly is that?
    At the top of the screen is only a Yahoo icon on the left and to the right of it a search box, "Web Search,", "My Apps," Yellow Pages," "Weather," "Updates," and "Skype." to the right of those there is a green cross saying "Add more apps. to your toolbar" and to the right of that a sort of gear shift looking icon saying "toobar settings."
    So, in short, how do I get rid of the Bing screen and how do I access those Tools?
    Thanks.

    To get rid of Bing Search Window..............
    Click on View tab / Tools and un-check 'Search' (alias for 'Bing')

  • How can I get rid of Yahoo Search starting up everytime I click + to open a new tab

    I recently downloaded a product (can't remember what it was) but
    it included the Yahoo Search Toolbar. Now, although I have
    disabled the ToolBar, everytime I click on + to open a new tab it
    ALWAYS brings up Yahoo Search Box before I can type in the ULR I am wanting to open. It's driving me mad.
    Can anyone tell me how to get rid of Yahoo Search Box. It does
    not appear in "Add or remove programs"
    Thank you

  • How can I get rid of Yahoo search on Mountain Lion  safari .

    I have tried everything to get rid of Yahoo from my newly installed Mountain lion upgrade. I have a MBP mid 2011 17".  . I'm used to using Safari so I would ltke to keep using it. BUT, even though I have Google as my default or perferred search engine, Yahoo keeps coming up. I have already tried hiding tool bar & then individually putting up the print , home.etc. icons. But that doesn't work either. I have searched for an answer to no avail thus far. It's beginning to look like I either use Yahoo w/Safari or switch to FF or Chrome. Any answers I will be grateful for. Thanking you in advance. I could just scream at this point. LOL
    And one other thing is bugging me to death. Is there any way to enlarge the toolbar & icons on Mountain Lion. They are very tiny...too tiny. I've tried everything I could think of.
