DON'T WANT EVER TO YAHOO ON MY COMPUTER!

I just downloaded the latest version of Firefox and default installed the Yahoo toolbar on my computer! I don't like Yahoo and do not trust them! I discovered how to remove from Firefox, but I had not given the chance to do not to install Yahoo!! Is - this in anyway do not download Yahoo on future updates?

I've removed the search engine in the search box and Google installed instead, that's how much I hate yahoo.

Thank you
Leslie

When you download Firefox directly from Mozilla, you do not get the additional toolbars.

In addition, Firefox comes with the Google search plugin, not need to install it yourself. A Yahoo search plugin is also included, but you have discovered it is quite easy to remove.

    When I start a new search of yahoo tab comes when I start a new search yahoo tab comes and I don't want that. How to make a different website to open?

    You need to understand what you installed that changed this action to Yahoo on a blank tab, which is the default action in Firefox; and then get rid of this add-on. Then you can install an add-on that allows you to select what you want in the new tab.

  • How to remove unwanted plugins (and no I don't want to read all the articles unrelated who never answer your question)?

    I want to erase the unwanted plugins in Fire Fox. A plugin has even a warning about its use does not (Java Deployment Toolkit). But every time I ask 'how to remove a plugin?', I get redirected to an article that does not answer the question. And then the cycle starts again without ever actually answer the question.

    IT IS NECESSARY TO UNINSTALL FIREFOX TO DELETE A PLUGIN?

    Hello 4646tm, I understand your frustration. Here's how to remove a plugin:
    Click the menu and then click on Add ons, which looks like a piece of a puzzle.

        Type about:plugins into the Location bar and press Enter to display the About Plugins page.
       Each entry in the About Plugins page will have "File:" and "Path:", showing the name and location of the plugin file. Use Windows Explorer to navigate to the folder shown for the plugin you want to remove.
       Rename the file to add an X in front of the filename (for instance, npswf32 becomes Xnpswf32).
    

    You said that you do not want links, but I'll give you a couple just in case you do not want to uninstall the plugins manually. These links are to pages that tell you how to run the uninstall it please do not hesitate to tell me if you think that they are not useful.

    Uninstall Adobe Flash - Windows

    Uninstall QuickTime - Windows Vista/7

    Follow the instructions:
    Download Microsoft Silverlight (instructions to uninstall also)

    I just put a couple of the most common out there, if you have a specific plugin you don't want it please tell me and I can dig to the top of the page for it, also you can do manual uninstall I gave you.

    Have a great day!

  • Don't want to ASK Web site. How can I delete?

    Installed an update for Firefox and got the site ASK for my browser. Don't want that. Want to come back to Yahoo.

    Hi ekranz,

    Are you saying that your homepage has been changed? If this is the case, it is quite common. Sites like MSN, Yahoo, etc. have been ask to become your homepage. You should take a look at the Knowledge Base How to set the home pagearticle.

    There are the steps in this article to reset your preferences on the default home page. I would try everything first to clear all strangeness. If it works, you can try to set your homepage again to your personal preferences.

    If this does not work, you should look at article unsaved Preferences.

    Finally, your problem may be because you have been hit by some malware.

    Hope this helps!

    You can disable or remove toolbars more here:

    On the left side, click Extensions. Then read to the bottom of the list. Usually the active ones are listed first, then the inactive.

  • pressing the key "w" lance programs that I don't want to open.

    Whenever I hit the "w" key on my keyboard, it opens the programs that I don't want to not open.  ITunes, internet explore etc. open up and stop what ever I am working.  It is a real headache when I work on word documents.  How can I stop this?

    Hi WSGP.

    Thank you for using Vista answers Forum.

    This only occurs in Microsoft Word?
    You press another key at the same time with the key "w"?
    Are you using any character language alternative cards?

    I suggest all first update your antivirus software and do a full scan of your computer.

    I suggest then perform a clean boot to isolate startup programs that can cause this problem.
    Here is an article on how to do it:

  • What I would do, my computer has so many unwanted programs, is to reinstall Vista and not all HP programs that I don't want.

    What I would do, my computer has so many unwanted programs, is to reinstall Vista and not all HP programs that I don't want.  It seems to make the computer too slow.  I don't have a Vista disc, only the recovery CD I did in the beginning. Can I recover and just reinstall Vista, or should I get back it?
    Thank you
    Bill

    original title: recovery

    If your "Vista recovery disc" is provided by the manufacturer of your computer, be it Dell, Gateway, Hewlett-Packard, etc... Then chances are he's doing a thing. Completely format your hard drive and restores your computer to the day you brought it home. It's a major nuisance for many people these days, as if you have an error and Windows says 'Please insert the Vista CD to fix it Windows' well, you do not HAVE the CD to correct the error. Your only option is a complete erasure of all data.

    So, my advice is to avoid ever NEED to use the recovery CD, and if you don't... hope you have backups of your important data (which is another thing, backup your important data often!).
