Yahoo hijacked my Mozilla. How to export my favorites before I uninstall it?

I thought malware attacked me, but I see it is Yahoo that caused the problem I guess. I just clicked on what I thought was a usual Mozilla update when turning on the computer a few days ago, and paid no attention, but I did wrong I guess.
I want to export my Mozilla favorites on what appears to be "Mozilla Firefox Yahoo! Edition yahoo - 1.17 "and try uninstalling Mozilla and starting over. Then import my favs. How do I export my favorites to a file so I can import them again all fresh. I see no options anywhere to do this and help doesn't show how to do this with Yahoo Hijacking me.
Thanks

Your personal data is unaffected when uninstalling, as long as you don't check the "Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations" option. You can create a bookmarks backup in JSON format. It's specific to Firefox and when imported, it replaces your current set of bookmarks. Or you can export bookmarks in HTML format. It's common to all browsers, and when imported, it adds bookmarks to your current set.
* [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
* [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]
That being said, it should be enough to remove MySearchDial and Yahoo! Toolbar from the Add-ons Manger, Extensions category.
* [[Disable or remove Add-ons]]
I also strongly recommend fully scanning your system with the anti-malware applications listed in the following article.

  • How to export safari favorites to chrome?

    Hi,
    How can I export Safari favorites  installed on my Ipad IOS7,
    to Chrome favorites installed on the same Ipad,
    WITHOUT using Icloud or Itunes.
    It is forbidden to make use of Icloud or Itunes. (Company security policy). So these 2 programs can't be used on PC or Ipad.
    I cannot find the solution on the internet, can it be done?
    y.s.

    I think this information is stored in
    /Users/Library/Safari/Form Values
    I've no idea if it's possible to read it (opened in TextEdit, it's encrypted).
    But I wonder if it's possible to use a unix command that concatenates the two Form Value files on each Mac into one? If you want to try this make sure you keep a back up of each original Form Value file belonging to each Mac before messing about. Safari should be closed too.
    Copy both files onto a single Desktop, you'll need to name them uniquely, say FormValues1 and FormValues2 (note no spaces) then type this command in Terminal (Applications/Utilities):
    cat ~/Desktop/FormValues2 >> ~/Desktop/FormValues1
    Then rename FormValues1 back to the original name of Form Values and move it back into the correct folder:
    /Users/Library/Safari/Form Values
    I expect you'll have duplicate values in that file now and I've no idea how Safari will handle this scenario, maybe it will clean up but so long as you keep a copy of the original Form Values files you can restore the status quo afterwards. Good luck.

  • Have Firefox home page set for Google search, but each following tab opens w/Yahoo search instead. How do I remove the Yahoo and have Google home page on every tab????

    As I said above: I Have Firefox browser home page set for Google search, but each following tab (but suddenly now it) opens w/Yahoo search instead. How do I remove the Yahoo search off the added tabs and have Google home page/ blank tab (like it used to be) on every tab????

    The new Firefox Start Page - '''about:home''' - isn't the same homepage that was used in earlier versions of Firefox - http://www.google.com/firefox There is no "setting" for the "Search Container" on the about:home "page" - in the Options UI or in about:config .
    Set that old "Mozilla Firefox Start Page" as your "homepage". <br />
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    Or open your Profile folder and delete the '''webappsstore.sqlite''' file and hope the "Search Container" on the about:home "page" returns to Google. When it '''''is''''' Google, the Google logo appears to the left of the "Search Container"; when the search engine there has been changed to something else, there is no logo to the left of the "Search Container" - AFAIK.

  • Why is there no "Show All Bookmarks" in my Bookmarks menu in Firefox 3.6.28--AS YOU SAID in how to export to Bookmarks.html??

    I followed instructions on how to export my Firefox bookmarks to a Bookmarks.html,
    BUT there is no Show All Bookmarks in my Bookmarks menu. I don't get it. I have Firefox 3.6.28,
    which is the latest I can install on my PowerPC OS 10.4.11 Mac. Thank you.
    I'm stuck without my Firefox bookmarks on my new iMac OS 10.8.

    In Firefox 3.6.x it is named "Organize Bookmarks"
    *Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Export HTML
    Firefox 4 and later require a Mac with an Intel processor and OS X 10.6 (Firefox 16 runs on OS X 10.5).
    *http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/19.0/system-requirements/
    For an unofficial Firefox 17.0.3 ESR compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

  • How to export and import bookmarks Firefox on N900

    It's self-explanatory. I know how to export & import bookmarks with Firefox desktop. As a disabled user, the less I have to "re-invent the wheel", the better. How do I export and import bookmarks with Firefox (currently 4) on N900?

    Sync is the main vector for transferring bookmarks between computers for Firefox.

    If the N900 allows filesystem access the places.sqlite file could be copied from your desktop Firefox profile.

  • How do I import favorites onto a restored system from a backup that I made on an external hard drive before I had exported the favorites?

    I have downloaded Firefox to my laptop, which crashed, and could not be restored by my backup software. All files reside on an external hard drive, including Firefox. I had not exported my favorites prior to the crash. How do I import those favorites from the external hard drive?

    Favorites or '''bookmarks'''? Firefox can't handle the "favorites" data, you need to restore that data to IE, and then export it in bookmarks.html format which is what Firefox can import.

  • How to export the dashboard reports for Excel in OBIEE 11.1.1.6.0?

    Hi Experts,
    How to export the dashboard reports for Excel in OBIEE 11.1.1.6.0?
    For example:
    Dashboard contains more than one report, and add one export button for downloading these reports for Excel.
    Is it possible to implement this requirement?Thanks.

    There is no direct option, you can try the following workaround.
    Page Option -> Print -> Printable Html
    Then File -> Save Page as
    Choos Save as type as -> All files
    File name as Report.xls
    When you Open the xls file, if you get a pop up saying problem during load just omit it and proceed.
    The report will open in excel.
    Or save the page as html /mht and open it with Excel, this also will work.
    Note: I have tested this in Mozilla
    Thanks,
    Vino

  • When I open a new tab, it shows a Yahoo Search page. How do I change this?

    open a new tab, it shows a Yahoo Search page. How do I change this?

    A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
    If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    You can middle-click or hold down Ctrl and left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab.

  • I'm trying to find out how to export my apple contacts to the Salesforce software and they need to be in a csv format and I don't know if this is possible and how to do it if it is?

    I'm trying to find out how to export my apple contacts to the Salesforce software and they need to be in a csv format and I don't know if this is possible and how to do it if it is?

    I think there are third-party programs which will do that, but you can also do it with Automator:
    See the links in my post, here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22390873#22390873
    The file or clipboard contents will be in Tab Separated vars, so you'll have to open with a spreadsheet program and save as Comma Separated Vars format.

  • How to export best quality gif animations in flash

    how to export best quality gif animations in flash

    GIF is a color restricted format with on/off support for transparency. There's really no settings you can tweak to output a better GIF. You have a drop-down during GIF sequence export to allow transparency, select the amount of colors (up to 256) and you can choose dither to save a little filespace. The only 2 things in there that really matter are dither and amount of colors used to export.
    If your content is very similar (e.g. not a lot of complex gradients/shadows/etc) and is limited in color use turning down the amount of colors used and dithering is your only option.
    Make sure you're exporting the GIF via "Publish Settings" so you get a single animated GIF and not file->export->movie because this creates a separate sequence of GIF images for each frame.
