Remove yahoo toolbar

i have NO option on my screen that included the word "edit". i have no option on my screen that allows any choice of toolbars EXCEPT to add more useless apps to a toolbar i don't want in the first. the ONLY place on my screen that shows the word "edit" is in the upper left hand corner and ONLY viewable if you click on firefox logo ... and right clicking the 'edit' in that icon accomplishes nothing - much like the useless resolutions to what is a very easily accomplished task in IE - tell me again how great firefox is ...

On my Firefox 20.0.1 / Windows 7 the Yahoo Toolbar was still present after uninstalling it from Control Panel -> ... ->Programs and Features which was obviously extremely frustrating.
In order to remove it, go to your account's AppData folder and just remove the folder containing the Yahoo Toolbar extension:
c:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\PROFILE.default\extensions\YAHOO_TOOLBAR_FOLDER
Replace USERNAME and PROFILE.default with your local settings.
I didn't write down the exact name of the YAHOO_TOOLBAR_FOLDER. It's one containing an "install.rdf" file which refers to Yahoo Toolbar.

I really would like to know how to totally remove Yahoo toolbar from my Firefox browser as well as my computer. I don't like those special toolbars at all.

I really would like to know how to totally remove Yahoo toolbar from my Firefox browser as well as my computer. I don't like special toolbars at all. I find it irritating that you included one in the newest version of your browser. In the future I would hope you would leave this or any other out. Firefox used to be my favorite browser to use, now I am not going to want to use it because of the extra toolbar. Please tell me there is a way to remove this, not just hide it.

You can't move the Yahoo Toolbar from IE to Firefox, they are totally different "behind the scenes". However you can install it, [http://us.toolbar.yahoo.com/ http://us.toolbar.yahoo.com/] and I believe if you log in with your Yahoo account it will sync your data.

Removing Yahoo Toolbar in Firefox 12

I cannot get rid of the Yahoo Toolbar in Firefox 12. It does not show up under extensions or add-ons.
I have eliminated all Yahoo programs (Toolbar, IM, and some updating program) in the control panel Add/Remove Programs.
I have restarted the Firefox in safe mode. There are still no Yahoo Add-ons or Extensions that show up.
I then went Help | Troubleshooting Information | Show Folder
I clicked on Show Folder.
There's a folder called "Yahoo! Inc". When I open Yahoo Inc., there's another folder called ytoolbar. I have deleted Yahoo! Inc both when Firefox was open and when it was closed. As soon as I restart Firefox, the Yahoo Inc. folder is recreated.
I am unable to remove the Yahoo Inc. folder permanently.
This is one invasive program.
How do I get rid of it?

I had problems following the discussion above. I managed to find the hidden directory containing all the Yahoo Toolbar files from this article: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
The directory is %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile folder>\extensions\<Yahoo Toolbar directory>
For example, mine was C:\Users\Chris Hollis\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\uh07uw1k.default\extensions\{635abd67-4fe9-1b23-4f01-e679fa7484c1}
Deleting this directory did get rid of the Yahoo Toolbar for me.

How do I remove Yahoo toolbar?

Hi, Somehow Yahoo toolbar has downloaded onto my pc. Yes I have downloaded a new software but it never asked me if I wanted Yahoo. I am very vigilant when I download software & I swear there was no mention of Yahoo.
I've been to the remove a software from the control panel on my windows 7 pc but there is no mention of Yahoo.
I've also checked the extensions on Firefox add ons but there is no Yahoo there either.
I've even removed Yahoo from the Registry and...
Yahoo still comes up!!!
I've searched various forums etc & none of them mention the problem I have.
Does anyone please know how to remove this toolbar I do not want from my pc?
Any help please would be appreciated.

travel on your windows 7 boxes to C:\Users\<your user name here>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\uh07uw1k.default\extensions\{635abd67-4fe9-1b23-4f01-e679fa7484c1}
take note that there are a bunch of yahoo files and folders hidden inside there....
NUKE (delete) the folder 635abd67-4fe9-1b23-4f01-e679fa7484c1 an yahoo toolbar and all of its trash is gone.if its not named the same for you just keep hunting in there and compare the install date of the toolbar and the date the files where made and you too can be free of this massive pain in the @$$ yahoo has created to collect data an just down right annoy you with.
Hope that this has helped all of you.....

How do I remove yahoo toolbar I didn't install from Firefox, 4 is clean. I like clean.

Just recently started using FireFox 4. Is a great browser and I intend to install in my new computer later this afternoon. How do I remove/delete yahoo's toolbar? Yahoo is my email but I don't need their toolbar messing up FireFox.

I removed it by clicking on the "Tools" menu, then select "Add-Ons." Once the list populates, click on "Extensions," then locate the Yahoo Toolbar. Off to the right hand side you can click either "Disable" or "Remove." I disabled it, restarted Firefox 4.0 and no annoying Yahoo toolbar :)

I want to remove Yahoo Toolbar and one way to do so is to go to Tools dropdown menu. But Yahoo toolbar has "covered this up" and I can't locate my TOOLS dropdown menu anymore. Can someone assist me to circumvent this?

I have tried to uninstall Yahoo Toolbar using this and other methods. Another is to find the "pencil" icon to uninstall-- but my Yahoo toolbar doesn't have a "pencil" icon!! HELP!! I never wanted the Yahoo toolbar but it was auto installed with latest version of Firefox. I no longer have a URL bar at top of page to input URLs, no way to hit a "back" arrow to go back to prior website-- not good.

hello, this sounds like the files in your [[Profiles|profile folder]] that store the information about your extensions might have become corrupted. please go to ''firefox > help > troubleshooting information > profile - show folder...'' then windows explorer should open up your profile folder. in there look for the files named extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite, extensions.sqlite-journal (and in some cases also extensions.txt, extensions.rdf). delete or rename those files and quit firefox, they will be regenerated the next time you launch firefox.

Right click problem: I did not know about the Yahoo sidebar issue, I have removed all toolbars from my browser from 'view' menu. There is nothing in my 'extensions' to disable. Right click is not working. What to do?

Right clicking is not working on any of the websites. I read up that it's a Yahoo sidebar issue. But, in my extentions, Yahoo sidebar is not there. I had removed all toolbars, but from 'view' menu. Now how do I get my right click to work?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I've noticed it on 1 Aug 2010

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 
Locate that extension in the list, and click on it. You should see an '''Uninstall''' button, use it, and then restart Firefox.

How can i remove the yahoo toolbar on the new firefox

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.

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].
WARNING: 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. These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

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.
*http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons
*http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Cannot%20uninstall%20an%20add-on
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.
