Yahoo has replaced Google in my search box... I have researched all previous answers both here and in Google, but none of these solutions work as Yahoo keeps switching back!

I have read these sites plus a few others, and nothing works:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/688704?s=yahoo+changed+search+settings&as=s
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/683682?s=yahoo+changed+search+settings&as=s

http://news.cnet.com/8301-13880_3-10277784-68.html
Any help greatly appreciated!

After MUCH more research, I did find a solution that worked... search all the files in my computer for anything relating to Yahoo and deleting every reference to it, per this link:
https://support.mozilla.com/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?comments_parentId=593063&comments_offset=20&comments_per_page=20&forumId=1
I was horrified and disgusted how many Yahoo files were on my NEW computer, some 27 files... parasites!! I not only deleted them, but immediately purged my Recycle Bin. LOL
Delete all yahoo files completely out of your computer and your life will go back to normal.

How to get rid of Yahoo which has replaced itself as the search engine on safari . I have tried going to safari and changing the default search engine to google and the homepage to no avail can anyone PLEASE help

After updating Firefox . I notice Yahoo has taken over as the search engine on safari . I have gone into safari and changed the default browser and home page to google but yahoo is still there . Can someone Please tell me how to get rid of Yahoo . peter

Since I looked everywhere for this answer and never found it I decided I needed to help!
1. GO TO THE TOOL BAR WHERE IT SAYS SAFARI AND CLICK TO BRING DOWN THE MENU OF OPTIONS, CLICK ON PREFERENCES
2.INSTEAD OF JUST CLICKING ON THE GENERAL TAB AND CHANGING THE SEARCH ENGINE LIKE EVERY OTHER STUPID SUPPORT TELLS YOU TO DO LOOK AT THE TAB THAT SAYS EXTENSIONS.
3. Chances are you downloaded something that was made by a third party to "enhance" your web experience but really they just screwed you over, YOU CAN CHOOSE TO SIMPLY UNINSTALL ANY EXTENSIONS PUT ON YOUR COMPUTER BY CLICKING INSTALL, BUT TO BE SURE THAT THIS IS THE ROOT OF YOUR PROBLEM IN THE SECOND COLUMN SIMPLY CLICK ON THE UNDERLINED NAME OF WHO THE EXTENSION IS MADE BY IF CLICKING THE LINK BRINGS UP A YAHOO PAGE THIS IS THE SOURCE OF YOUR ISSUES AND SIMPLY UNINSTALLING THIS WILL RID YOU OF THIS DUMB PROBLEM!!
HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!

'''browser.search.openintab''' userset boolean True
Also in Google search, upper-right-corner settings
You can always force opening a link into a tab with Ctrl+click or Ctrl+Shift+click
If you want the same from a bookmark make sure to set
: '''browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground''' to same value as you have for
: '''browser.tabs.loadInBackground'''
The last setting is controlled by Tools > Options > Tabs >
:: When I click on a link, switch to it immediately,
which control the difference between Ctrl+click and Ctrl+Shift+click
Items in boldface''' can be set in about:config

I just made the switch to mac. I am have installed all the new PS6 CC and bridge and I am now trying to add some presets to my ACR but when I search for the folder to place them it is not there. From what I researched it says it should be under camera library/application support/adobe/camera raw/settings but I can only get to library/application support/adobe/ and then there are two different camera raw options I have checked both and there are not settings folder. If anyone can help me please thanks

Apple most likely has the same poor taste that Microsoft does when it come to defaults. Microsoft likes to hide things like settings, preset, folders etc from normal users think the dumb or something else. If Apple also hide things you will have to make some system setting changes that will allow Finder to do it job and find it for you.

So just close iTunes and re-open iTunes thats it and that worked for you?
When you say reset your settings do you mean to factory settings? As my iPod was swapped at the store for a new one and the problem is still there...
Thanks.

Jailbreaking violates the Apple warranty and licensing agreement and voids ALL support from Apple. No one on here can help you as doing so is a violation of the Terms of Use of these Communities. If you send the iPad to Apple they will just send it back to you as they are not permitted to work on a machine that has been jailbroken.

Umm, what problem? What actually happens when you try to restore it in iTunes?

iTunes 11 does some thinks differently. See:

Also
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar

HT4623 so I am updating my phone to the newest IOS and it has been doing it for hours. I have now plugged it into the computer and it says that it is in recover mode and I should restore it? What does that mean? Do I lose everything on my phone?

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

Can i insert 'mozilla firefox start page' onto my toolbar instead of the standard google on the search box

I'm having problems like a lot of others with Google as it has removed it's 'UK only' button from it's home/search screen. I prefer the Google Mozilla Firefox Start Page as it gives me the options I need. On the Firefox toolbar search box, which drops down to give search engine options, can I link the Mozilla Firefox Start Page to this box? Thankyou.

Look here for additional Google search engines: http://mycroft.mozdev.org/quick/google.html (no country redirect)

My search box in the upper right side of the screen changed from Google to Ebay without intentional action on my part and I have been unable to find a way to get rid of the ebay search tool and get google back.

When I first went to do a search using the search box on the right side of the toolbar I noticed it had a different icon. It was so so small I did not recognize it as Ebay until I hit search and it was then I realized my search tool had somehow been changed. The only use my wife had made of the computer since the prior evening was to view an email from the president of a local charity sending an updated roster of officers. I did look at the user profile file and saw that it showed the profile changed as of 7:46 am which was when my wife looked at the email. I tried deleting the file but firefox would not run without it so I restored the file. Our internet security program is Avast.

Here's a simple explanation of how to fix the problem:
