Yahoo Search Images Links

I've used Yahoo as my preferred search engine for a few years. Suddenly, when searching for images, I am unable to open links associated with search results. For example, at http://search.yahoo.com/, enter the name of any athlete or celebrity. When you get the search results click Images in the menu on the left side. Now you'll see lots of pictures of the person you searched for. (It can be any search image, not just people.) Now click on any image and a page with that image opens and has a link to the source website. When I click on that link, nothing happens. This problem also occurs with saved image searches I've added to my Favorites. I have no problem with search results that are not images.
This only happens with Yahoo, not Google or Bing. I checked my Yahoo settings and everything was fine. I checked Yahoo help and online forums but found nothing about this. I asked a question in Yahoo help but as far as I can tell they mostly don't respond to help questions and haven't responded to mine (3 days).
I ran a full system scan with my Norton Internet Security but it found nothing. I ran Malwarebytes Antimalware but it also found nothing. I checked IE add-ons but I recognized all of them and found nothing unusual. I did a System Restore to a point preceding the problem but it didn't help. I haven't installed any programs for many months. I can't figure it out.
Satellite A665-S6086, Windows 7 Home Premium 64, IE 11. All updates current.

Peter,
That's correct, it's the link at the bottom left corner. I've found an odd work-around. Once you're on that page, if you click on the left or right arrows next to the image then arrow back again, the link will work. Strange, huh?
I've also discovered I have another problem - perhaps it's related or perhaps I'll find that it's addressed in another thread here. Specifically, on many shopping websites (and others) there are sometimes thumbnail views of a product below the main image and when you click on one, it's supposed to become the main image. Here's an example for a living room furniture set at Costco:
http://www.costco.com/Clifton-3-piece-Fabric-Set.product.100022895.html#
Now try clicking on one of the small thumbnails below the main photograph. When I do it nothing happens, and it's the same for many websites with that type of arrangement. I'm not sure if it's the website, my machine or my machine's owner!
Cheers and thanks.
Joe

Proxy problem with Yahoo search returned links

We have two BM servers here. Older one Netware 6 sp5 w/ BM 3.7 sp3 that works well. A replacement that I have had up but not currently using much Netware 6.5 SP8 w/ BM 3.8 sp5. The latter one has a problem with Yahoo search results. If I point a workstation to the older NW6 BM it works fine in Bing, Google & Yahoo. If I point it to the NW6.5 BM then it will work fine in Bing and Google but in Yahoo it will return the results but when you click on any link there I get this message:
Yahoo!
Yahoo! - Help
The requested URL was not found on this server.
Please check the URL for proper spelling and capitalization. If you're having trouble locating a destination on Yahoo!, try visiting the Yahoo! home page or look through a list of Yahoo!'s online services. Also, you may find what you're looking for if you try searching below.
Any ideas? I have no access rules enforced. Anything that might be of help would be greatly appreciated.....Thank you!

1. Verify that you use the same proxy.cfg on both servers and the same
settings like persistent connections.
2. Compare both traces, the working one and the non working one. See if
the returned link from yahoo is the same on both traces and it is coming
from the same server. You may have another firewall/router up in the
path causing the issue.
3. Before taking the lan traces on the netware server using pktscan.nlm,
unload proxy, load proxy -cc to clear cache. Then take the traces and
see at what point the non working one differs from the working one.
check that info is coming from the same up server

When using Yahoo search the link opens a new tab rather than remaining in the current tab. This has never occurred before upgrading to FF 10.0.2. Played with tab setting in options window with no luck. Please help - very annoying.

Windows Vista. FF 10.0.2 (2 days ago).

Many of your points are totally legitimate.
This one, however, is not:
…To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help"…
The design and management of the forums for more than five years have driven literally dozens of the most valuable contributors and "regulars" away from the forums—permanently.
The only conclusion a prudent, reasonable person can draw from this state of affairs is that Adobe consciously and deliberately want to kill these forums by attrition—without a the PR hit they would otherwise take if they suddenly just shut them down.

Yahoo search as portlet in my page?

I know that i can have the yahoo search as portlet in a page (i have seen it), but i don't know the way. Can anybody give me detailed instractions in order to do that?
Thanks

Hi,
You should have the 309 version of portal.
You can use the URL component available in Webview or the URL services in JPDK. You will be prompted for a link where you
can give the yahoo search portlet link. You will have to publish the url portlet on the page.
Thanks,
Sharmila

On YouTube, I can't play playlists there. It says I need to update my Java and it is updated already. When I go to different sites like Yahoo! the links and images are all distorted. This is the second time this has happened to me now

Hello Firefox,
I am having problems with my Firefox's image processor I believe. My web browser is fine but then a few minutes later I get some weird look on my page. It then just stays here and I can't fix it. When I go to Yahoo all the links and images do not look normal. I really cannot explain this and wish I could send a picture instead. When I go to the Log in page for Facebook I do not see the image of the small faces networking around the world. It's blank and the links are widely spread apart. With YouTube the page is also distorted. Nothing is arranged properly. I can watch videos. However when I go to someone's profile or a playlist videos cannot play or show up. It says I need to update my Java player and it is already updated. It still happens when I uninstall and re install back. I was only able to fix this problem by uninstalling everything related to Firefox. I do not know how to solve this any other way. I don't like it when all my information is lost such as saved passwords and bookmarks. If there is any way to solve this thanks. I don't want to uninstall this again.

Your above posted list of installed plugins doesn't show the Flash plugin for Firefox.

Skipping the search for linked images

Hi all
My indesign document have 250 images. While I have moved the indesign document to different server. All the images are missing links now. While I am opening the document indesign looking for image links, this process is cosuming more time to open the document.
I want to just skip the searching for linked file and open the file. I will relink them afterwards.
Skipping the search for linked images while opening the indesign file is prossible?
Thanks in advance

Search Query Web Part thumbnail image link broken

Hello,
I have 4 farms spread across the world and I want to pull news from Farm 1 (headquarters) into farm 2, 3, and 4. In SharePoint 2007 I did this with content deployment by pushing only the news site out to the other 3 farms. However, from
reading content deployment guidelines in SP13 I feel this is no longer a supported configuration.
I am trying to use the search query web part to accomplish this now. I have a search query web part that I am using to roll up articles from SharePoint at farm 1. So far it is mostly working, the articles are pulled in and I can see
them. When I click the link it takes me from the current farm (farm 2) to farm 1 to read the article. The only problem I am having is that the rollup image does not display at farm 2, 3, or 4. I believe this is happening because the image
URL at the source is getting saved as a relative URL. Even if I try to override the relative URL to the image with an absolute URL then it just forces the URL back to a relative URL because clearly SharePoint is smarter than I am and there is no reason
I should ever want an absolute URL.
I should add that to get this working, in my search settings, I had to configure an extra content source (to farm 1).
So my question is what is the best way to handle this? Is there an option in my search configurations on farm 2 to override URL's for a particular content source? Am I even headed down the right path trying to do this with the content search
web part?
Thanks,

Hi Tom,
I have been trying to figure out what you mean when you say I am using 'Page item' instead of 'Picture'. I don't understand what you mean.
When I set up a page that will be published I have actually been using an 'Article Page' content type for the news item I want to share on all of the farms. After creating the page there is a section at the bottom for a 'Rollup Image' I specify
the URL in this rollup image but the actual image is stored in an 'Assets' Library. I have no problem with the article page itself showing up on Farm 2, just not the image. The "Rollup Image" data type is Publishing Image - "Rollup
Image is a site column created by the Publishing feature. It is used on the Page Content Type as the image for the page shown in content roll-ups such as the Content By Search web part."
Question 1: Are you saying that I need to somehow replace that rollup image field with a custom site column field?
Question 2: If I set up a new column then do I need to worry about connecting catalogs?
In your post from December 9th it sounded like you had this working in your test environment.
Question 3: Did you have it working using a different configuration there?
Question 4: If so, did it require having a separate web application just for Assets, or were you using a custom site column there?
In Farm 2, after I connected my catalog from Farm 1, I found that a Pages library at the top level of my site collection contained some strange entries. I have files in that library called
CatalogItem--1684387697
CatalogItem-364050575
Category-
Category-1211-4576
The first CatalogItem gives me an error "Sorry, something went wrong". The rest seem to contain images from Farm 1. However, news articles still are not finding those images. I suppose that is because the 'Rollup image' link is
still pointing to a different path than that connected catalog. Anyway, those items were checked out to me and were not published. I checked them in and published those Category/CatalogItem connections hoping that would work, but
that didn't help either.
When I set up my catalog in farm 1 I only checked 'Enable this library as a catalog'. None of the other fields seemed to apply since I am not publishing to a public site (Anonymous access) and also since I am not trying to tie identifiers to catalog
items (Catalog Item URL fields). Additionally when I connected to my catalog I tried "<label for="ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_connectionTypeSection_fullConnection">Integrate the catalog into my site" with the setting "</label><label
for="ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_rewriteDecisionSection_noURLRewriteRadioButton">Make URLs point to source catalog". I also tried "</label><label for="ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_connectionTypeSection_manualConnection">Connect,
but do not integrate the catalog". Both of those settings sounded like they might force catalog items to look to the source (Farm 1). Neither worked. There are a lot of other settings but none of them seem to apply to my situation.
I'm not trying to configure Navigation Hierarchy, Category Pages, or Item Pages. Maybe I need to do something with "Catalog Item URL Format", but I'm not sure what settings I should try.</label>
Questions 5,6: Do you have recommendations for my catalog/catalog connections to get this working? Obviously my current configuration is not right or else it would work, but am I even close?

Yahoo Search Links Opening in New Windows Instead of Existing Window

This literally happened withn the last hour. I've done some Yahoo searches, and when I click the link, instead of opening it in the existing window like it always does, it opens the links in new windows.
Is this something I did inadvertendly? How can I fix this? I don't want to have to right click to open in a new tab in the same window.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

Yahoo search has no link to news results

I tried to like new Yahoo search, but I like to search for news, and Yahoo result page has no clickable link taking me to news results.
I know normal Yahoo search has this, why is Firefox customized Yahoo results lacking of this?
Back to Bing for now.

My search page from Yahoo has a news link
* https://uk.search.yahoo.com/search?p=hi&ei=UTF-8
**https://uk.news.yahoo.com/
* Generic links search.yahoo.com & news.yahoo.com
Possibly you are just looking at the Firefox homepage about:home or the newtab page about:newtab Feel free to bookmark such pages or set them as a homepage {If you set multiple homepages, multiple tabs open) or newtab page.
* [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
* [[New Tab Page – show, hide and customize top sites]]
I am aware Yahoo has previously made available a Yahoo toolbar but it appears at present that is broken and being worked on by Yahoo[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/forums/contributors/711130 .] The toolbar will apparently only work in outdated unsafe Firefox versions.

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.
I tried this solution but it didn't work
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/811550?s=getting+rid+of+yahoo+search&as=s

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.

# 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) '''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). --above used in https://support.mozilla.com/questions/850287

When opening a new tab, there is a Yahoo search screen showing rather than an empty tab and I would like to shut it off, how do I do this? thanks

somewhere on updating, I picked up a yahoo toolbar, which I did not like. One of the tasks it performed was to bring up a yahoo search and news box when opening a new tab every time. I have not been able to uninstall it or shut it off, Any ideas where to start. When opening the new tab, it starts at "click,w3i.com" and then goes to "search.yahoo.com" and has some trending searches and latest news, My network is slow enough with out waiting for all these things to pass. Any idea how to eliminate it or shut it off. It is not listed in tool bars or options or add-ons or plugins or anything. below are the two links the tab goes through, they are listed in reverse order. Thanks for the help. Have a great day.

Yes it was an add on called net assistant by freeze.com and I have found that, disabled it and intend to uninstall it, it must of come in with something else, I did not down load it specifically. Thanks

Get rid of yahoo search.. return to google search NOT GOOGLE CHROME

Something happened with last mozilla update. I keep getting yahoo search in my search engine
box, and under the tools option box, there is no option to select browser access anymore.
another confusion is between the search engine used and the browser.
I want to use google search engine on mozilla, I dont want to google chrome
Also there is a flag that comes up on my windows 7 laptop when i try to change the yahoo search
box... something about content not trusted
I'm not a computer geek, all i know is after most recent windows update and mozilla update,
mozilla has gone haywire. I want the old mozilla back with a google search option on mozilla not google chrome, and NO YAHOO SEARCH WITH FLAGS ABOUT HAZARDOUS CONTENT AND SITE NOT TRUSTED
WHO IS PROGRAMMING THIS JUNK ANYHOW?????

Hello,
Sounds like a third party installation has hijacked your search bar. If you find suspicious looking extensions in your add-ons page, can you try the following steps?
# Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and choose Add-ons.
# In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Extensions panel.
# Select the toolbar you wish to remove.
# Click the Remove button.
# Click "Restart now" if it pops up. Your tabs will be saved and restored after the restart.
After Firefox restarts, install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Search Reset Tool]. This will remove the rest of the traces of this program from your Firefox.
For further information, please read [[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]].
If the above doesn't work, try running some anti-malware scans:
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://general-changelog-team.fr/en/downloads/viewdownload/20-outils-de-xplode/2-adwcleaner AdwCleaner] (for more info, see this [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ alternate AdwCleaner download page])
Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article.

Problem with Yahoo search infringing trademarks, very disappointed that you moved away from Google.

Google is responsive to trademark infringement complaint for its ADWORDS program. Yahoo's advertising program constantly permits advertisers to infringe trademarks and does not respond to complaints. Reflects really poorly on FireFox, which we used to hold in high regard. All the ads on Yahoo are infringing our trademark and Yahoo legal is not taking action to remove the advertisers.
If $ are at the source of FireFox switch, then your "commitment" to keeping the web open and valid is looking like a sell out switch as well.
Very disappointing, especially having contributed to Mozilla supposed "volunteer". And your file upload doesn't work.

Thank you for your prompt reply and the links to the complaint forms. We've been submitting them for years, so we are quite familiar with the process. Google and Bing are responsive, Yahoo is not!
The problem stems from the fact that FireFox, who we have grown to trust, made Yahoo Search the default search without alerting FireFox users that you have done so, nor did FireFox provide an alert with instructions to revert to Google, should the user so choose.
This is not in keeping with FireFox's open, transparency commitment, which makes it sound like it is $$ driven, rather than mission driven. It's like saying that you care about humanity, and then source products from impoverished areas of the world in the name of $$.
Re: Are the ads the same as those appearing on other browsers, yes, but I thought that FireFox was not like all the other browsers. What happened to your manifesto to do good or better?! ...Yahoo just doesn't deliver on so many levels that it reflects really poorly on FireFox.
We have learned over the years that Google is responsive to intellectual property complaints and takes their position as the leader in global browsing very seriously. Unlike Yahoo. From other comments it looks as though I am not the only one to want Google back.
MOZILLA "The Internet is an integral part of modern life—a key component in education, (isn't FireFox now teaching that manifesto is just lip service and the $ is really the KEY component) communication, collaboration, business, entertainment and society as a whole.
The Internet must enrich the lives of individual human beings OR is the internet used to enrich FireFox and Yahoo at the expense of human beings.
Suggestion: INFORM USERS about Yahoo, INFORM USERS how to revert to Google and make it easy and permanent to revert to Google. Thanks for your consideration.

When opening a new tab, Pogo with Yahoo search pops up first - how do I get rid of this

When clicking on a new link, the page changes to Pogo.com with a Yahoo search bar mid screen until the new tab starts to load, then it reverts to the originale page. Im using vista with yahoo as a home page, links open in a new tab. Tried changing home page to Google and reloading different releases of ff 4., started after latest updates of microsoft vista - help!

It took me most of a day to figure this out, but I finally did, after uninstalling the Yahoo toolbar all over the computer, including Internet Explorer but when I went back to Firefox it was still listed on my toolbars, and continued to produce the Pogo search screen whether the toolbar was enabled or not. I found the answer by accident by phrasing it slightly differently on Firefox help. I have XP, but the basics is go click on Tools, then Add-ons, then Extensions. Uninstall Yahoo toolbar and that should do it. Mine is now free of it. The point being that the download came in with something else (in my case a game I was trying out) and you need to get rid of the download on Firefox.

New Yahoo Search Changes

I have always used Yahoo search; while Firefox had Google as the default, I would change it to Yahoo. I would sometimes try google but one of the things that annoyed me with Google was if you clicked on a link, that link would, by default, open on the same page forcing you to "go back" to see the list again. With Yahoo OTOH clicking on a link would always open in a new tab allowing me to more easily go back and forth between selected links.
Yes I know I can right click and open in a new tab but is there any way to get the old default behavior back where a normal left click on the Yahoo search results open in a new tab ? I have a condition which affects my right hand and using the right click button can sometimes be gets cumbersome at times.

It didn't work at first, but eventually got there.
1. Your screenshot shows the method of selecting Yahoo as the default search provider. There is no option to "remove". I select Firefox Help and underneath uncheck Yahoo and all other providers and then set it as default.
2. I then go to search.yahoo.com and try a search. It does work the way I wanted.... for whatever reason it wouldn't yesterday.
3. I go to Go to http://mycroftproject.com/yahoo-search-plugins.html , scrolled down to 16. Major Engines , Yahoo! en-WW (search.yahoo.com) by Denny Kluge. This was what I had to do when Firefox 1st changed the default to Google.
4. I added it and had two Yahoo's in the list, I checked the 2nd one. Add something in the search windows, hit the down arrow and elected Yahoo to search with. It didn't work, same behavior as before.
5. I then changed to selecting Yahoo again as the default.
6. Now here's the weird part .....
a) With Yahoo selected as the default and letting it work as the default, it works as desired.
b) With Yahoo selected as the default, but using the Yahoo selection as an option, it doesn't work.
I have since unchecked the Yahoo box in the list of "alternate search engines to display " while leaving it selected as the default selection. It's worked 3 times so far; hopefully it survives a close and reopen :)
Muchos Grassyass. I dreaded trying to find the mycroft site again as it took me quite a while the last time.
