How can I get Safari as browser: yahoo has taken over

Yahoo returns constantly as my default browser on my computer and I spent in the preferences/general systems and validated it States Safari.  How can I get rid of Yahoo.  I have OS X Yosemite

Hello

First of all, get rid of Yahoo itself. You uninstall yahoo yourself by entering the programs folder in the Finder, or by a program like AppCleaner or clean my Mac. Then you choose to uninstall. Make sure that there is no trace in the sandbox as well. Then, he must return to the system settings and set Safari as your default browser. Personally, I recommend a program like own to my Mac to uninstall these aggressive programs because they suppress each bit in any directory.

Hope this helps

  • How can I get Safari to open in my homepage instead of the last page, I looked?

    Hi everyone, how can I get Safari to open in my home page or a page chosen instead of the last page I was looking at all the time?

  • How can I get rid of the Yahoo homepage? Changing the home page does not work.

    A week or two before Yahoo started coming as my home page. No matter how many times I change back to Bing, whenever I have rise of Firefox, there is Yahoo as homepage. Does not he back on Bing and clicking ok. I'm a little frustrated by that. How can I get rid of Yahoo to come as my home page when I have asked yet for her?

    Thank you for your time and your consideration.

    Sincerely,
    cbrsarah

    Change the home page when you check only in "Options > general > Startup" or is it a problem with the page that opens when you launch Firefox?
    For the latter, you can check the field target in the Firefox desktop shortcut.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

    • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

    If you do not keep the changes after a reboot or have problems with preferences, see:

    Make a check of malware with several malware scanning of programs on the Windows computer.
    Please scan with all programs, because each program detects a different malicious program.
    All of these programs have free versions.

    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before scanning.

    Alternatively, you can write a check for an infection rootkit TDSSKiller.

  • How can I get Safari working again?

    I've just updated my software yesterday (like being invited for a very long time) and today the 9.1.1 safari (OSX 10.9.5) repeatedly crashes on my iMac. This never happened before yesterday. I've been reluctant to update because I thought that I should upgrade to El Capitan at the same time and had heard some bad reviews about matters of iPhoto on El Capitan. Finally, I've updated without the upgrade. Now, I get constant messages ' content Web Safari unexpectedly quit ' how can I Safari works again without upgrading to El Capitan? Here is a screenshot of what happens when I check what has been updated. I'm lost!

    Force Quit Safari (command + option + ESC keys). Then restart the SHIFT key now.

    If that doesn't fix it, download and runMalwareBytes. Malwarebytes was developed by one of our colleagues here to ASC. He received rave reviews and is on the more proven anti-malware for Mac software.

    EDIT: You wrote: I've updated without upgrading

    It is not possible. Please check the Apple menu > about this Mac to see what OS X version you are using and the Safari menu > on Safari to check the version.

  • How can I get permanent Private Browsing, I want to save passwords?

    I tried several times to turn off private browsing which requires a reboot. After the reboot, private browsing is always engaged. What I want, it is to be able to save passwords from time to time and can't restore that work in private browsing.

    Your list of details of the system shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time you start Firefox.
    The user.js file will be present if you or a other software created this file and normally will not present.

    You can check its contents with a text editor (right click: 'Open with'; do not double-click).
    The user.js file is read whenever Firefox is started and initializes the preferences to the specified value in this file, so the preferences set via user.js can be changed temporarily for the current session.

    You can remove the user.js file if you do not create this file yourself.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

    Windows hides certain default file extensions.
    Among them .html and .txt, so you can see only a file name without .ini and .js file extension.
    You can see the type of actual file (file extension) in the properties of the file via the context menu in Windows Explorer.
