I can't get rid of yahoo to search for any I; ve tried

I am running windows 7 - FF 14.0.1

I can't get rid of yahoo for search in the search bar and resets to yahoo to close to search engines - no matter what I tried - I got a CDA youtube downloader addon - I removed it.
I have change
Subject: config
URL to
http://www.Google.com/search?ie=UTF-8 & oe = UTF - 8 & SourceId = navclient & gfns = 1 & q =

When I check again - the blasted yahoo is back
I try to change
Browser.Search.Param.yahoo - fr; CHR-greentree_ff & CDI = 12 & type = 937811

the system will not let me.change or remove

What I have to do a TOTAL uninstall and reinstall FF?

I like FF, but if this continues, I'll have to change to a different browser - I did the software since 1978.

Try:

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance/themes).

If you don't keep changes after a reboot then see:

  • I can't get rid of Yahoo as my homepage, suggestions?

    I put my Yahoo! home page and now I can't get rid of him. I tried to reset my homepage via Internet Options and Yahoo! keeps appearing as my home page. This is getting VERY frustrating. All I want is to have the base page home of Firefox first and then go from there.

    If you mean the Internet Options Panel, in fact, these settings are only for IE. Your Firefox options are here:

    Orange Firefox button or classic menu Tools > Options

    The home page is set on the general tab, in the startup section.

    Note that if you have installed the Yahoo modules, these modules can change your setting back to Yahoo. Let us know if you run into that.

  • How can I get rid of a 'server' missing for a long time on my LAN?

    At the same time I ran two iMacs for years, then sold one and replaced it with a Mac Pro, which I put the iMac remaining network. Then, I sold the second iMac, leaving only the Mac Pro. Now the Mac Pro trying to start to connect, like a faithful dog, with the missing iMac. The ' problem connecting to e.g., iMac.local "appears at three or four times in the first 15 minutes after the start. How can I get rid of him? So far I've tried: Finder/go/connect to Server / (unsubscribe);  Finder/Prefs/General / (uncheck attached servers). /(Uncheck all) Finder/Prefs/Panel side Shared. There is no evidence of the iMac in my articles or connection options. I had rather not potchke around the code, but nothing has stopped so far. Any ideas? The Mac Pro runs El Capitan 10.11.6.

    It can be a little painful to figure out what piece of history triggered attempts to mount. Try to use Console.app to inspect the system log at the time the dialog box is displayed to see if it gives you a clue as to what process makes the attempt.

    Otherwise, delete all items in connection (unchecking them is not enough, remove them from the list) you have and see if the problem goes away. If so, divide and conquer to understand that it was responsible.

  • 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.

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search box that appears above the list, type or paste newtab and make a break while the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference browser.newtab.url and enter the desired value:

    • (Default) page thumbnails = > subject: newtab
    • Blank tab = > subject: empty
    • Built-in Firefox homepage = > topic: welcome
    • Any other page = > full URL of the page

    Press Ctrl + t to open a new tab and check that it worked. Fixed?

    Both will not be deleted. What can I do else?

    Note that your list of details of the system shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some preferences at each start of Firefox.

    The user.js file appears only if you or another software created, therefore, normally, he wouldn't be here.
    You can check its contents with a text editor if you do not create this file yourself.

    The user.js file is read whenever you launch Firefox and initializes the preferences to the value specified in this file, so set of preferences via user.js can be changed temporarily for the current session.

    Start the computer in safe mode Windows with networking (press F8 at the startup screen) to see if allows to delete these files.

  • 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.
