Yahoo toolbar and Firefox

Every time Firefox is updated the Yahoo toolbar becomes incompatible.
This even happens from version 7 to 7.0.1, let alone a major Firefox update from version 6 to 7.
New versions of Firefox are usually in beta for some time, so presumably Yahoo could anticipate what was needed to be changed rather than us having to wait for a compatible version of the toolbar to be released.

thats my Yahoo toolbar version via FF's add-on's....
Have you tried uninstalling the toolbar from within Control Panel then reinstalling it from here... http://uk.toolbar.yahoo.com/

When Firefox was automatically updated, it removed my yahoo toolbar and I can't reinstall it.

When Firefox was automatically updated to 29, it removed my yahoo toolbar and I can't reinstall it. I go through the motions of installing the toolbar and when I restart Firefox, the toolbar is there for a split second and then is deleted from the display. I have since removed the automatic update feature from Firefox and will only update if I deem it necessary and non-destructive. In the past your software has also removed the Social Fixer add-on. I am aware that Facebook does not like Social Fixer. Mozilla should remain neutral. You should not do Facebook's dirty work for them. I can do without Facebook and I can also do without Firefox.

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
WARNING: Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

Removing Yahoo Toolbar in Firefox 12

I cannot get rid of the Yahoo Toolbar in Firefox 12. It does not show up under extensions or add-ons.
I have eliminated all Yahoo programs (Toolbar, IM, and some updating program) in the control panel Add/Remove Programs.
I have restarted the Firefox in safe mode. There are still no Yahoo Add-ons or Extensions that show up.
I then went Help | Troubleshooting Information | Show Folder
I clicked on Show Folder.
There's a folder called "Yahoo! Inc". When I open Yahoo Inc., there's another folder called ytoolbar. I have deleted Yahoo! Inc both when Firefox was open and when it was closed. As soon as I restart Firefox, the Yahoo Inc. folder is recreated.
I am unable to remove the Yahoo Inc. folder permanently.
This is one invasive program.
How do I get rid of it?

I had problems following the discussion above. I managed to find the hidden directory containing all the Yahoo Toolbar files from this article: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
The directory is %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile folder>\extensions\<Yahoo Toolbar directory>
For example, mine was C:\Users\Chris Hollis\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\uh07uw1k.default\extensions\{635abd67-4fe9-1b23-4f01-e679fa7484c1}
Deleting this directory did get rid of the Yahoo Toolbar for me.

Something added a Yahoo toolbar to Firefox, how do I get rid of it?

A Yahoo toolbar and search was added to Firefox. I suspect I missed a box I needed to uncheck when something updated.

10/28/11 - I just fixed this problem and found the solution in one of the other replies. 
Here is the sequence for FF 7.1 (W7-HP) : 
Note: You should, first, Uninstall the Babylon program with Control Panel or, I think, it will just re-infect FF. 
1) Show the FF Toolbar (I hide mine) and select 'Tool" 
2) Select 'Add-ons' 
3) Select 'Extensions' 
4) A list of extensions will appear; 
(On mine, Babylon was right at the top) 
Look for Babylon Toolbar; at the right will be two options: 
Disable Remove 
5) Click on 'Remove'; close the tabs and exit FF (restart FF). 
6) The Babylon stuff should be gone. 
Good luck, this was a real PITA.

Cannot save sites to yahoo toolbar for firefox

After getting a message that Firefox was slow to load, I followed remedy as suggested. All the sites saved to "Yahoo Toolbar for Firefox" disappeared, and I am unable to re install them. I have updated Firefox and Toolbar but nothing has resolved this problem. Hope you can help

What "remedy" was that?
Did the "remedy" leave an Old Firefox Data folder on the Desktop?
If so, see this- https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings - see the blue box at the bottom of that KB article.
Overall, I have no idea how that Yahoo Toolbar works or where it saves bookmarks to - inside that Firefox extension or online. Try Yahoo Help for support for their Toolbar.;

Why don't I have e-mail notifications to the yahoo toolbar in firefox 4?

I updated to firefox 4 2 weeks before and since then I do not have mail notifications to the yahoo toolbar 2 for firefox (it is an add-on)
I contact to yahoo customer service and they told me to contact with mozilla because it is a problem with firefox 4.
I am normally and always logged in my yahoo account..
Can you please help me?

If you have any other add-ons disable them using the following method or manually. If done manually do not disable Yahoo Toolbar.
Go to to Firefox App Button --> Help --> Restart With Add-ons Disabled.
When firefox restarts, you will see a window regarding Firefox Safe Mode. Check Disable all add-ons and click on make changes and restart. Re-enable Yahoo Toolbar and check if the notifications show up.
If they do show up go here http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting%20extensions%20and%20themes#w_test-for-faulty-extensions

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

How do I get rid of yahoo toolbar and get back my orange firefox button in the upper left corner of screen so I can use my stuff again?

Yahoo toolbar suddenly imposed itself as my log on screen whenever I booted up my computer and clicked on Firefox. Now I can't get to my bookmarks even though it told me that if I activated the new bookmark system it would transfer my old ones. It didn't happen. The toolbar has no bar for typing in a www.http address. I cannot use it and don't want it. I am using Explorer just so I can access my bookmark address, but don't like Explorer. I want my old Firefox screen back that has the little orange button in the upper left corner of the screen. How can I get there? My computer use has been highly curtailed by this unrequested invasion!

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F). 
If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear. 
You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11. 
If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Menu+bar+is+missing
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
*Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize"
*Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

Cannot uninstall Yahoo toolbar from Firefox

I'm reposting part of another thread that was closed because no one is actually listening to the people that are posting the problem.
Quote:
I had the same problem, after I installed Yahoo Messenger. I asked not to install the toolbar, but it was installed. Then I uninstalled it, I disabled it from addons, yet, the toolbar was there no matter what I did. I uninstalled Firefox, reinstalled, with the download from mozilla, the toolbar was still there. I did all that one has to do in order to uninstall a piece of software, without being "the tech guy". I do not have the same problem in Chrome or Internet Explorer. It was uninstalled from all other browsers when I removed the program from control panel. I can't see what I can do to get rid of it. I choose to just hide it for now, but it bugs me that I have a piece of software that behaves like a virus, doing stuff I don't want it to do. And for the record, I am not confused about the search for yahoo and toolbar for yahooo. Right clicking on the interface, allowed me to check or uncheck exactly that "yahoo toolbar".
/quote
This is exactly my problem as well.
In the other thread several people said 'disable it in your add-ons' Well as the poster above mentioned and I can confirm **it is not in the add-ons area**
Others said 'use the add/remove function in the control panel' and as the poster above mentioned and once again I can confirm **I did this and it no longer shows up under add/remove but the toolbar is still annoyingly there**
Yet others said 'you must have downloaded a special yahoo version of Firefox' No, we (or at least I) didn't. The toolbar was installed when I installed Yahoo messenger
-I can't believe a 'clean install' of Firefox is the answer to this problem--if so this is just ridiculous.
If there is no actual answer, I can accept that but I am frustrated that people are posting responses that very clearly are not the right answers because the people posting the problems were very clear about the issues.
Thanks for reading, please assist if you can.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Yahoo toolbar and google toolbar enter in google search, appears in yahoo search, like they are connected

Yesterday the aps for my older yahoo toolbar would not open after loading the latest version of Firefox. I had to reload the yahoo toolbar. Now when I use the Google search field, and hit search, the same typed words from the google search field appear in the yahoo search box. Also the menu bar now has Yahoo on it. I would like it to go away.
Thanks, Jay

I visited Google's toolbar download site and reinstalled the toolbar -- now I can select from the Google search drop down menu as before. running Firefox 4.0.1 and Windows XP
