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 want to remove / delete several toolbars. How do I do that?

    I have several toolbars at the top of my browser screen that I want to remove or delete. I have tried some suggestions you have posted on the help pages but none have worked. I can check them off by going to view / toolbars, but they reappear every time I log back onto Firefox. Please tell me how to permanently delete them. Thank you.

  • I want to remove the network announcement, but it is no longer available in the last version

    Hi,
    After updating to the latest version of the airport software, i cannot remove the network announcement that i added in the previous version.
    How can i get rid of this?
    Cheers,
    Arcanoid.

    Your post does not mention whether you "updated" to the Lion operating system, but we will guess that this might be the case.
    If yes, you should download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion , which provides full functionality.
    You can keep both AirPort Utility 5.6 and 6.0 on your Mac and use the one that you wish.

  • I want to remove the "private browsing" option. how?

    Firefox automatically installed the "private browsing" option on my browser. I do not want it.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == past update

    You have or had an extension installed (NET_mmhpset) that has changed the user agent from Firefox/3.6 to Firefox/3.0.x.
    You can check the '''general.useragent''' prefs on the '''about:config''' page.<br />
    You can open the ''about:config'' page via the location bar, just like you open a website.<br />
    Filter: '''general.useragent'''<br />
    If ''general.useragent'' prefs are bold (user set) then you can right-click that pref and choose ''Reset''.

  • When Firefox was automatically updated, it removed my yahoo toolbar and I can't reinstall it.

    When Firefox was automatically updated to 29, it removed my yahoo toolbar and I can't reinstall it. I go through the motions of installing the toolbar and when I restart Firefox, the toolbar is there for a split second and then is deleted from the display. I have since removed the automatic update feature from Firefox and will only update if I deem it necessary and non-destructive. In the past your software has also removed the Social Fixer add-on. I am aware that Facebook does not like Social Fixer. Mozilla should remain neutral. You should not do Facebook's dirty work for them. I can do without Facebook and I can also do without Firefox.

    Hello,
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
    <b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
    Thank you.

  • I want to remove the COnlineBank, OnlineBank and csample applications from my application and web server.

    How can I safely do this on Solaris? I've tried "iasdeploy removeapp" and "iasdeploy removemodule" with no luck. I want to clear all of this demo stuff out to make both the web and app server look more production like.
    Thanks
    Eric

    Eric,
    these applications are applogics which are not controlled by the
    iasdeploy tool. Unfortunately, there is no tool available to remove
    these applications for you. What you can do is to manually remove all
    their entries, but be careful if you do that. If you remove the wrong
    keys you might break your ias installation, so be warned and make sure
    you backup the whole ias registry before attempting to remove anything.

  • I want to remove the monitor from my 17" Macbook Pro 2008 to use as an external for my Macbook Pro 15" 2012. How can I convert lvds to Thunderbolt and power the monitor?

    I want to remove the monitor from my 17" Macbook Pro 2008 to use as an external for my Macbook Pro 15" 2012. How can I convert lvds to Thunderbolt and power the monitor?

    It's almost impossible.  The new iMacs have a Target Display Mode, but it's built to do that.  Without ripping your screen out, finding an acceptable power supply, frame, and whatever electronics to convert a Thunderbolt signal to the screen, the cost will be much larger than buying a cheaper HiDef monitor that runs with an HDMI to Thunderbolt cable to your MacBook 15.  In fact, you can sell your 17" MBP for a lot of money, unless it's broken or something, buying you a really sweet monitor.
    By the way, I found your answer by searching this forum.  I would suggest using the search function here in the futuere.

  • I want to remove the header and footer when printing from my mac, i can do this in the Page Setup on my PC but not on the Mac. I can do it each time I print but then it resets. How do I make a universal change?

    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Go to the "File" menu, then "Print." The window that appears will have three drop-down menus at the top.
    The first is labeled "Printer",
    The second is "Presets".
    The third is unlabeled but has "Copies & Pages" selected by default.
    Click on that third menu and select "Firefox" near the bottom of the list.

    I keep all of my music on my iPod Classic. In error, I changed the sync setting on my iPhone 5 to sync the music with my phone.

    On your phone: Settings>General>Usage>Music...tap the Edit button...then the red minus sign. This will delete all music on your phone.

  • I have an original iPhone running version 2.2.1.  I wish to get rid of the phone, but before discarding it I want to remove the email records, phone book information, and photos.  I would like to leave the other apps in place.  Any suggestions?

    Delete you mail account on the phone and disable to sync your mail account in the info pane in iTunes with your phone connected, same for contacts. Also deselect photo syncing in the photo pane. After the following sync, your mail, contact and photos should be gone.
    Photos inside the camera roll have to be deleted on the phone.
    Remember, that apps only can be used with the account they were bought with. If the phone will be set up with a different iTunes account, all of your apps will be removed.

  • I cleared a playlist on my iPhone 4 because I wanted to remove the songs from my phone's storage (I had previously downloaded them) because I wanted to clear storage space. I now want to access the playlist via iCloud and can't. Thoughts?

    I cleared a playlist on my iPhone 4 because I wanted to remove the songs from my phone's storage (I had previously downloaded them) because I wanted to clear storage space. I now want to access the playlist via iCloud and can't. In other words, I want it to sync with the playlist as it exists in iTunes Match. Thoughts?

    Export Photos and Videos from Camera Roll to your computer.
    Empty Camera Roll.
    Make a Folder/Album with all photos and videos you want to have in your iPhone and sync them through iTunes.
    This will free up space in your iPhone and your iCloud.
    The backup of Camera Roll in iCloud is only to restore your iPhone. You can't access them directly.
