• How the * can I get rid of Yahoo search - Firefox still refuses my changes at the next startup.

  Work in Win10.
  Firefox refuses to keep the changes I made to remove Yahoo.
  Remove all browsers except Google - next time you start it again Yahoo!
  No other browser has been replaced, with the exception of Yahoo.

  It's very 'big brother', which I don't expect Firefox.

  After spending hours fighting it, I'm at the "tip" of let - pun.

  It seems you might have a bit of malicious software on this PC. I see an extension named Hub of results which is known as bearer of Malware.
  Why don't you see if removing "garbage" that gets rid of your problem with Yahoo search 'come back' at the next startup, which is a symptom of Malware.
  http://malwaretips.com/blogs/ads-by-see-results-hub-removal/

  When finished remove that, please install this extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ - as a final step to get some reset preferences to default values. Note - that extension will run during installation and then disappear.

• How can I get rid of yahoo and Pogo toolbars. They are not in my Windows XP programs, but they are on my firefox home page and interfere with my use of gmail...

  The two toolbars have uninstall instructions in their help on the toolbars section. I pasted in the section of troubleshooting below. When I try to find these programs in the menu START, in my settings or in the "Add/Remove Program" section of my control panel, they aren't there. The two toolbars have pre-eminence over gmail, which is my favorite of the navigation toolbar, etc. So even if I can do what I do, I have to firstly my way through the face of Pogo page and then the intrusion of louts on the websites to spawn. Why can't I get rid of these two toolbars? I never intentionally asked for them and I still don't know how they were allowed to be there, but it is clear that I must have done.

  Go to: view > toolbars to see if they are there. If they are, you can uncheck the.

• How can I get rid of Yahoo Search. If you do not have an answer that really works, I have to get rid of Firefox!

  Simple enough... I want to kill Yahoo search and never see him again!

  Unless there is interference from external software or an add-on, Firefox to remember your preferences for your default search engine and can hide the Yahoo Search bar icon. The real Yahoo search engine plugin (XML file) is located in the Firefox program folder and will be restored whenever you update Firefox, so it is not used that much by physically removing.

  As Jon mentioned previously, you can select your default search engine and hide the buttons "one-off" undesirable in the dialog box Preferences here (either):

  • '3-bar' menu > Preferences > search
  • Firefox menu > Preferences > search

  Now, why would this setting may not be honored? Check if you have picked up additional modules Spigot or a pipe or other elements of mystery. You can open the page modules using either:

  • Command + shift + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

  In the left column, click on Plugins. Here you can set the non-recognized or non-essential plugins 'Never turn on'.

  In the left column, click Extensions. Here, you can disable and remove unwanted or unrecognized extensions often.

  Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

  Note: If you got these add-ons in your Firefox, see if you can find how they got on your system. Usually, they accompany something "free" you downloaded and installed, sometimes disclosed and sometimes hidden, and if you don't clean that , too, your Firefox problem may return.

  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.
