  I have removed all references to Yahoo in my registry and searched all the user for any reference to Yahoo profiles. I am running Firefox version 29.0.1 on Windows XP.

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
  • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

  Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still works

  After stops in Firefox, a small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

• How can I stop Firefox toolbar pop up when the mouse is above the screen mode full screen (without kiosk mode, please)?

  I don't want the toolbar always there (so disable auto hide does not solve the issue). I would prefer a right-click or use a combination of keys to retrieve the toolbar. The toolbar arise at any time that the mouse is near the top of the screen is too distracting. It should be an option, users can enable or disable or card for anything other than the mouse hovering. The only solution I've seen mentioned is to go the full kiosk with something like R-kiosk, but it's really a too extreme solution to a simple problem. Is there a setting already hidden in the topic-config for this problem or is it a feature request? Thank you.

  There is no built-in way to disable this feature to display the toolbars when you move the mouse to the top.
