Yahoo is taking over and nothing is fixing it. oh and every time i start Firefox is acts like its starting up for the first time every time.

when i open Firefox its says something about checking add-ons or something for like 1sec then opens up with the main Firefox home page and the Firefox Google page.
that and the main issue is the whole yahoo thing, i HATE yahoo and its taking over my Firefox. now i have tried going into about:config and changing the keyword.URL back to Google but i get nothing and even if i find something that works as soon as i close it and reopen it its all reset.

Hi,
If you have another Yahoo application installed, there may be a legitimate helper app that runs in the background and detects changes to Yahoo settings and reverts it. You can check for any such program in the Start menu and also in the OS Control Panel Programs and Features (Add/Remove Programs). Please also check '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons''', click '''Extensions''' on the left, for any Yahoo add-ons and try disabling it or change it's settings.
Regarding the second issue: In Firefox, '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information''' > '''Open Containing Folder'''. This opens your current [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder & Files.] Exit Firefox and delete the files (not the folder) named '''extensions.'''*.
