Yahoo toolbar cannot be customized

In Firefox 20 there seems to be no way to add or subtract buttons for Yahoo toolbar. There is no pencil or green gear to click on. If I do try to get to the buttons they never load.

Yahoo no longer supports their toolbar extension.

    * If the menu bar is hidden then press and hold the Alt key down, that should make the Menu bar appear (Firefox 3.6 on Windows) (see [[Menu bar is missing]]).
    * Make sure that you have the ''Navigation Toolbar'' and other toolbars visible: View > Toolbars .

    * If you see the item in the Customize window then drag it back from the Customize window to the Navigation toolbar.

  • I no longer get my bookmarks in my dropdown menu on my yahoo tool bar plus i cannot add or delete apps on my yahoo toolbar.i believe this all started w/ a firefox upgrade of some sort.

    i no longer get my bookmarks in my drop down menu on my yahoo tool bar plus i cannot add or delete apps on my yahoo toolbar. i have emailed yahoo and they said it is not their trouble & to call at&t and i called att and they said not their trouble go back to yahoo .......but i believe this all started w/ a firefox upgrade of some sort.

    I know you can't help with my Yahoo problem, however, apparently at some time in the past I have went to the Sync and tried to figure it out on both my laptop and my desktop, because I have the long snyc key information. However, when I go to try to sync both computers I never get the box to enter that key on either one. That is my problem. So should I try and get a new sync key and see if that works.

  • I cannot download Google or Yahoo toolbars. It says Firefox could not install file there is an error 203, what does this mean and what can I do to fix it?

    I have Firefox 3.6.16, I upgraded to Firefox 4 but there were many conflicts with Kaspersky so went back to 3.6.16 which is fine but I cannot get Google nor Yahoo toolbars to load. I have tried several times and the same thing happens. I have another computer that I did the same thing with but both toolbars loaded on it.

  • I cannot remove the Yahoo toolbar. it does not appear as an add on

    I have the latest version of Firefox (33.1). I want to remove the yahoo toolbar and disable the yahoo seach function from the address bar (and replace it with google). But when I go to add ons, there is no yahoo in either the plug ins or extebsions. So I cannot delete/remove. What should I do
    Thanks

    It might just be that your search bar (the bar to the right of the address bar) is set to Yahoo, try changing it back to Google. To do that, on the search bar click the icon or the down triangle to display the list of search engines, and select Google from that list.
    If that doesn't fix your problems, did you download Firefox from the official Mozilla site? Sometimes if you search on Google or any search provider, they sometimes have "Advertised links" which are sometimes Firefox bundles that have been slightly modified/shipped with malicious software.
    * https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
    * https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    If you did download from a different website and believe that to be the cause, you can report the link here:
    * https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/legal/fraud-report/
    Check your list of install programs in Windows - Control Panel > Programs and Features. Usually malware comes bundled with other applications, so if you sort by date and see several applications installed at the same day, it may be easier to find suspicious applications that way.
    You can try the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Search Reset Tool]. It is an extension that will reset your home page, new tab and search settings back to the default then uninstall itself. If you find that its changes are being undone, please see the article [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
    If none of the above work, and you don't have too many extensions, you can also try the Reset Firefox feature which can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information. '''Note:''' After resetting Firefox, you will lose any extensions, toolbar customizations, and some preferences. See the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article for more information.

  • I want to remove windows explorer 7 and the Yahoo toolbar, if this cannot be done I will find another browser!

    I think this is pretty basic. Your browser has always been user friendly and allowed a high level of personalization. I don't like Yahoo toolbar thinking for me. I don't like the intrusive windows explorer 7. I am disturbed that you choose to base your system on this parasite. You have sold us out!
    Looking for a new browser!

    You can remove the Yahoo Toolbar. It probably got installed as an "optional" item when you installed some other software from the internet, maybe because you did not un-check the option to install that extra item.
    *http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons
    *http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Cannot%20uninstall%20an%20add-on
    If by saying '''''"remove windows explorer 7"''''', are you referring to '''Internet Explorer 7'''? How do you plan to keep Windows up to date? The Windows/Microsoft update site requires Internet Explorer on your system to use the site.
    As for:
    *'''''"I am disturbed that you choose to base your system on this parasite. You have sold us out! Looking for a new browser!"'''''
    Firefox is not related to or based on Internet Explorer or any other browser. What ever gave to that idea?
    Why are you using such an old version of Firefox? Your version is 3.5.7 which is no longer supported and no longer being updated, even for security related issues.

  • 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.

  • My customized Yahoo Toolbar (v. 2.3.5.20110120033202) would not load properly after I installed the new Firefox 5.0, even though when it checked for incompatibilities while installing it made no mention of the Yahoo toolbar, only the Google toolbar

    My elongated (statement) question fully explains the problem I am inquiring about. Only some rudimentary features of my existing Yahoo toolbar were displayed and it was missing all of my previously selected icons which are on file with Yahoo, not my computer. You also could not right or left click for a menu on the options icon (gear icon) to the right of the search window.
    It would seem that there are incompatibility issues between the new 5.0 Firefox and the existing most current version of the Yahoo Toolbar add-on. I don't know know why this wasn't detected in the installation scan for compatibility of installed add-ons.
    I have re-installed the 4.0 Firefox for the time being in order to regain the use of the Yahoo toolbar and all it's features which I use regularly.
    Does anyone have any other suggestions as to what the problem may be?

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

  • I keep getting cut out of my e-mails, and I cannot get any yahoo toolbars in my e-mail window

    I can be in my e-mail window, and it will just cut me off.
    Plus I use to have Yahoo toolbar above all my e-mails so i could copy and past or print an e-mail. Those are now completely gone, and I don't know how to get them back.

    I solved my problem. I switched from Yahoo to Google as my home page.
    I went to the Google Website, and clicked on the '''Google logo''' and drug it on top of the little house in the toolbar screen. Then I clicked '''yes''' to accept Google as my home page. I had to then restart my computer.
    Now, when I clicked Firefox to open my Internet connection, their screen popped up with the Google logo on it. I ignored that, and clicked the '''envelope icon''' and went straight into my e-mails. I now have all my Toolbars back on my e-mail screen. In short, I eliminated Yahoo as my home page, and switched to Google.

  • 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.;

  • Using firefox with yahoo toolbar I cannot access my hotmail button, it locks up my email account, I cannot read/delete emails or log out of account.

    I use the yahoo-firefox toolbar that has buttons you can access from the toolbar, mail etc. I have a button for Hotmail it goes to the account but locks up, it will not let me read/delete emails nor log out of my account. I can access it from another laptop that is not running the same versions of firefox/yahoo toolbar.

    Last but not least, for the site that has the problem:
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Clear Firefox's Cache
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can open the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • How do I get rid of a yahoo toolbar that keeps popping up and is not on the program list of my computer?

    Immediately after I updated my firefox a couple of weeks ago, the browser started to display a yahoo toolbar. At the time my husband took it off using the control panel and add/remove program function on the computer.
    since this am, the toolbar has come back up. I did NOT do anything to request it, or put it there. It is not showing up on my program list, I cannot find it when I do a search of my computer. When I went to yahoo help "remove toolbar" the two suggestions were to do that or use the settings button to remove it, but the settings menu on this doesn't have that option, unless maybe I would create an account, log in, and then remove it. I don't really want to do that either.
    I don't know where this came from, and don't really trust it. I would like to take it off, but can't seem to figure out how.

    I figured it out! Click on the Orange 'Firefox' tab on the upper left hand side of the Firefox browser, Choose 'Options', then deselect 'Yahoo! toolbar'.

  • 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).<br />
    If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br />
    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.<br />
    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

  • How do I bring my already installed Yahoo Toolbar from my IE Browser to my current FireFox browser?

    Prior to my Firefox browser, I was using IE8 for quite some time. I have a toolbar, for Yahoo, installed into my system already from my initial homepage setup in IE. I now use Yahoo as one of my homepages in Firefox and would like to have the Yahoo toolbar available when I log in to my browser. I know how to import my bookmarks/favorites from other browsers, I did this already. Can I move the Yahoo toolbar that's been customized my way, from my old IE8 browser to my new FF browser? I don't want to re-install it, again, if I don't have to. All of my preferred links/buttons are set up in it; CNN News, You Tube, etc.

    You can't move the Yahoo Toolbar from IE to Firefox, they are totally different "behind the scenes". However you can install it, [http://us.toolbar.yahoo.com/ http://us.toolbar.yahoo.com/] and I believe if you log in with your Yahoo account it will sync your data.

  • My Yahoo toolbar has disappeared and also my "bookmarks". How do I get them back on both gmail and yahoo?

    Hello Firefox:
    I am quite dismayed at changes that have recently been made on my two email accounts; gmail and yahoo.
    My yahoo toolbar has completely disappeared along with the bookmarks of which I had several.
    Not long ago my "favorites" list disappeared and I had to replace it with "bookmarks".
    WHAT IS GOING ON?
    I also do not like the e-mail changes with the send box having the "send" and other tools on the BOTTOM. How awful. Change doesn't always mean "better".
    Will you please advise me as to how I may get my toolbar and bookmarks back?
    ALSO, the e-mails do not fit my computer screen and many times I have shut down the e-mail and re-enter my passwords in order to get out of a page. CAN YOU FIX THIS? Everything worked so well before.
    Please tell me where I can get help with these items. I AM A VERY UNHAPPY CUSTOMER.
