Why does Yahoo search pop up if I try to search something during boot up period. Does Firefox own Yahoo, or vice versa. SO annoying...can i get rid of Yahoo?

No further details necessary..pretty self-explanatory.

On your MacBook: Go to System Preferences > Network. Select Wi-Fi from the left column. Click the Advanced... button.
Under the Preferred Networks list, select every Wi-Fi network that appears and delete each one using the "–" (minus) button. Select the box "Remember networks this computer has joined" if it is not already selected.
OK then Apply.
Select your AirPort Extreme's wireless network in your Mac's Wi-Fi menu, and determine if that solves its connection problems.
Our alarm company set up the camera with the D-Link before we got the Ariport and we can't figure out how to hookup the camera to the Airport without the D-Link.
You may need to solicit the security company's help. Adding your Extreme to your network as a router constitutes a fundamental change in your network's design. If you are now using the Extreme as your router, the D-Link router should be reconfigured as a bridge. Depending on the nature of your security system, it may not be required at all, but your concern about the security camera requiring specific port forwarding settings is justified. Changing your router from the D-Link to the Extreme may require forwarding specific ports using AirPort Utility, otherwise your security camera's video may not be accessible from the Internet. This goes beyond any help I can provide, since your security system has requirements of its own.
Configuring the Extreme as a bridge is likely to solve the problem... but if the D-Link wireless router was sufficient, do you really need another access point? The reason I'm asking is this:
... I purchased an Airport Extreme for Wi-Fi and to back up my MacBook files. 
If you need a wireless backup device for Time Machine, a Time Capsule may be a better choice.

  • Clicking the Firefox icon is fine but if I open a new tab it seems Yahoo carries out the search. How can I get rid of Yahoo (not add-ons).

    Clicking the Firefox icon to open it is fine but if I open a new tab (Control T) it seems Yahoo carries out the search. How can I get rid of Yahoo? It's not in Tools Add-ons or Extensions and Windows control panel doesn't show Yahoo either.
    I must have downloaded something that smuggled Yahoo in, but what?

  • 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

    Try deleting the Safari .plist file. Preferences can become corrupted.
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
    Click Go the move the com.apple.Safari.pist file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari and check Safari > Preferences  > General. Make sure Google is selected.

  • Can't get rid of Yahoo as search engine

    I am on Windows 8.1, IE 11, and Yahoo has somehow made itself my default search provider.  When I open a new tab, it automatically loads.  In Manage Add-ons, I have Google set as my default provider and have checked "prevent programs
    from suggesting changes to my default search provider". Yahoo is not even there.  I have run my anti-virus and anti-malware scans and removed anything that was a nuisance or threat. I went to Programs and Features on the Control Panel to see if anything was
    there that should not be (there was nothing). After doing all that, I restarted my computer and when I went to IE, Yahoo still comes up.  How can I get rid of it?

  • 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.

    Try deleting the Safari .plist file. Preferences can become corrupted.
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:

  • How Can I get rid of Yahoo home page? Changing home page doesn't work.

    A week or two ago, Yahoo started coming up as my home page. No matter how many times I change it back to Bing, every time I bring up Firefox, there is Yahoo as the home page. Changing it back to Bing and clicking ok is not working. I'm getting a little frustrated with this. How do I get rid of Yahoo coming up as my home page when I did not even ask for it?
    Thank you for your time and consideration.
    Sincerely,
    cbrsarah

    Hi johnbarr, please start a new question for further discussion since the original poster has marked this one as solved.
    For more information on viewing and managing your add-ons in Firefox, see:

  • How can I get rid of yahoo calendar on my iPhone 5c? Each time I make an entry, I have to turn off yahoo and turn on iCloud.

    Each time I add an event on my iPhone 5c calendar, I have to click off Yahoo calendar and click on iCloud or the event will not register. Should I permanently delete the Yahoo calendar under settings or is there a way to default to the iCloud calendar? Thank you.

    Thank you Mac.Dee and lizdance40. I am a techo-tot and am just learning my way around the system. I made both of these changes and my calendar works just the way I want it to.

  • Just updated to v5.0 and now when I start Firefox I get a pop-up that says checking compatability of add ons and the the Welcome to Firefox page and my home page appears. Can't get rid of the pop up or welcome page.

    Above question covers it. I've tried reinstalling Firefox, clearing cache, history, etc. but still happens. I've created app tabs and when I restart Firefox, they are gone. Running Windows XP.

    It is probably because you are not properly closing Firefox. Restarting your system would make sure that Firefox had terminated, but you do not have to do that.
    To properly close Firefox on Windows systems, use
    :File > Exit or "Firefox:" button > Exit
    When you get the message "Firefox is already running" it is too late, and you must force termination of Firefox through the Windows Task Manager before restarting Firefox. Windows 7 has a keyboard shortcut to save you a step "Ctrl+Shift+Esc" then on "Processes" tab, select "firefox.exe" and use the "End Process" button. More thorough would be to right-click on the "firefox.exec" and choose "End Process Tree".
    You would find firefox.exe in a Mozilla folder in your program files, but y0u would not want to delete it there, you would need to use the Control Panel which you have already identified and do it from there -- but generally you would not need to do that, and there is nothing in what you have posted to indicate that you should. But if you did do that, then don't let the install start Firefox for you as you would want to use you existing desktop icon or method of starting Firefox, and should decline having Firefox install start Firefox for you. When the install starts then invoke Firefox in your normal manner. This should eliminate problems of creating a new profile rather than using your old profile.

  • Why does Safari go into limbo when I try to search for some things?

         Why does Safari go into limbo when I try to search for some things? I start to enter something in the search window. I get a drop down with suggestion I choose one and it pops up in my search window but just turns a color and does nothing!
        If I quit Safari and bring it back up, then enter the exact same line it's fine. This is just one of the many problems I've been
    having with Safari since I installed Yosemite.
         Has anyone got any suggestions or is anyone having the same problem. Is there a way to maybe force my MacBook pro to reinstall Safari or possibly all of Yosemite. I seem to be having a lot of problems and judging by the responses I've received (That would be None) I must be the only one having any problem at all withYosemite. Not sure what to do.
         Any help or suggestions would be great

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • I am over this virus-like intrusion of Yahoo instead of my normal google search engine. If I can't get it fixeed I am back to IE or Chrome. Firefox is allowing this which is pathetic. Does anyone know a simple way to get rid of yahoo?

    Suddenly after upgrading I can't get rid of a Yahoo home page. Really annoying

    Try RIGHT clicking on different areas of the toolbars on Firefox, mainly try right clicking on/around the url bar & forward/back navigation buttons. When you get the correct spot if will give you a menu with the toolbars available (whether or not they're active) and a couple other options. Just uncheck the Yahoo one & you should be all set.
    As you say though it may be some other bar disguised as a yahoo bar. Any chance you can get a screen shot of it & post it here?

  • How do I get rid of Yahoo search from starting in the creation of a new tab?

    my home page works correctly and I have removed the Yahoo tool bar from plugins/apps (can't remember which) But whenever I open a new tab it opens on this
    http://search.yahoo.com/?fr=freeze&type=W3i_NA,132,3_6,Tab%20Search,20110520,16934,0,19,0
    I would like it to open on my home page, which firefox does on startup. But I can't find a setting in options that will allow you to dictate what first appears when opening a new tab.

    Do you also have a search bar on your tabs bar if so, it is probably "New Tab" extension, but suggest going through all of the following.
    '''Remove the Yahoo Toolbar'''
    # "Ctrl+Shift+A" (Add-ons Manager)
    # Select Puzzle piece on left-side for Extensions List
    # Find "Yahoo Toolbar" and click on "Uninstall" button, and restart Firefox. ''(if you really need to keep the Yahoo toolbar, you can hide the toolbar instead with customize, and still change all the search defaults as below)''
    '''Then to fix the default search engine''' used at the Location Bar, change the value of '''keyword.URL''' in '''about:config''' to one of the values shown in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Location_Bar_search#Location_Bar_search_.28external_-_search_engine.29 Location Bar search] at MozillaZine.
    * Google Search (Google search results page)<br>'''http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q='''
    # type in '''about:config''' into the location bar (in a new tab)
    # if the warning message nonsense comes up ''uncheck'' the box '''before''' dismissing the dialog message
    # '''filter on keyword'''
    # right-click on '''keyword.URL''' and choose "modify" then paste in the Google search engine string of your choice.
    # '''filter on defaulturl'''
    # right-click on '''browser.search.defaulturl''' ''(if it exists)''and again choose "modify" then paste in the Google search engine string of your choice.
    # '''filter on ytff'''
    # right-click on '''yahoo.ytff.search.popup_src''' ''(if it exists)'' and again choose "modify" then paste in the Google search engine string of your choice, if adventurous might see if "reset" would remove and see if gone in next session (well not for those keeping the extension).<br

  • How do I permanently get rid of Yahoo in the search bar?

    I "Manage Search Engines" and remove it, but every time I restart Firefox it's there again as the default. How do I get rid of Yahoo permanently? It is not my chosen search engine, and brings up very limited results.

    Nothing here works (1/22/2012). The only thing I could do was go to the Firefox tab in the left corner, go to Help, click Restart with Add-ons Disabled, wait for the little window to come up and check reset everything then click restart to make Yahoo go away. Of course my other tabs went away, but I had the URLs written down anyway. Now Google is my default engine again.

  • I set up a location based reminder in notification last week to test it out.  Worked great, but now I cannot get rid of it.  It does not show up in any list on the notifications pages, but can be found in search.  How can I get rid of this notification?

    Last week I set up a location based reminder in notifications to test it out.  Worked great.  However, I can't get rid of it.  It does not show up on any of the pages, either reminders or completed.  I can search and find it, shows it should be in reminders page, but it is not there for me to remove.  Any ideas?

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
    You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
