Impossible to uninstall the yahoo toolbar
Original title: how to remove a Yahoo! toolbar? It came with a program that I had downloaded, but it was not extracted when I uninstalled this program. Thank you!
I went Internet and downloaded a program to help me watch 'live TV' on the computer. Yes! Right! Just as I thought, it was a hoax. But as I downloaded the program, it came with a Yahoo! toolbar. I agreed, thinking it was worth. But when I discovered that the program wasn't true, I uninstalled it - it, the Yahoo! toolbar left behind, no matter where I look, I just can't seem to find it to remove it.
Thank you!

Hello, please go to firefox > addons > extensions and remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, the things that you have not installed intentionally, I don't know what purpose they serve, etc.).
also go to Control Panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there.
Finally, run a full scan of your system with security tools like the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.Remove a toolbar that has supported your Firefox or the homepage search

My yahoo toolbar is not editable, and is essentially useless. The button refresh does not work, and none of the icons (apps) are ones I used to have. Yahoo instructions suggest using the sign, which doesn't seem so. I've seen other people with similar problems, but mine is with Firefox version 20.0 and Windows 7. My computer is new, and I used sync to keep my settings in Firefox, bookmarks, etc, which may or not be related to the problem. Yahoo help was better and more personalized. Now I can not even find a way to communicate with them. Someone elsewhere on this site gave a phone number, but I've been waiting forever. Any ideas?
One of the earlier answers suggested a reinstall of Firefox using this link

You don't have to uninstall Firefox.I tried on my first computer and it worked. Now, I did to the laptop and I ' m back in business. When I restart Firefox it does not update to a newer version. What I have not done is shut down my computer so, I keep my fingers crossed. I don't know who it is - the fault Yahoo or Firefox, but I hope that they prevent this from happening again. I am lost without my Special icons on the Yahoo toolbar.

This area exists on all sites, that I'm on Firefox. If I switch to IE as my browser, I don't have the problem.
Recently, the Yahoo toolbar and the extension of Babylon have been reported because of this problem. They appear to overlap invisibly on the top of the display of the web page. If you have one or both, uninstall or disable them/it or see if an update is available that solves the problem.

Firefox won't let me have the yahoo toolbar
I lost my yahoo and the toolbar file. I downloaded a new yahoo mozilla toolbar and I thought that would solve the problem. I managed to recover the file toolbar. Today when I went on line he said without adding on a were will. So I don't always have the yahoo toolbar. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm not a computer person
Hi, try this signed Yahoo Toolbar add-on.
If you still have the menu bar of Firefox (with file on that), then right-click in the tab bar - but not on a tab, and then select menu bar.
If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

I can't download the yahoo toolbar. Help.
I had installed yahoo toolbar and then I lost it all when trying to install Windows 10. I put Mozilla back on my laptop, but when I try to download the yahoo toolbar the message came that there is a connection problem (it was after that Firefox says it will not install it). The site that I tried to download is https://toolbar.yahoo.com/?.intl=us. No luck. Help, please.
I don't know why but some users cannot install toolbars to Web sites of third parties (such as Yahoo and LastPass) when the original download URL is redirected to another URL.
In this case, it starts like:
But the server redirects to Firefox:
https://SXP.yimg.com/EI/toolbar/IE/yahootoolbar-3.2.11.20150226051211_intl-_sc-_pc-_DC-.xpi
If you can not understand what blocks Firefox follow the redirect and fix this, you can download the toolbar using another browser. You can save the file as in downloads, for example. Then you can load it in Firefox using one of the following methods:
- Drag and drop the file as on a Firefox tab open
- On the addons page (Ctrl + Shift + a or tools > Add-ons), click the "gear" above the list of extensions/plugins and choose "install module file".

Why does the Yahoo toolbar on the 38 version? I have only a quick link, mail.
It's exactly the same problem with previous versions, the people were from. I've done all the tips provided to support, and it is NOT FIXED! It is EXTREMELY annoying. I liked my Firefox until this happened. More than a little disappointed.
It seems that the extension of the Yahoo toolbar has been broken for many months, based on feedback from the user.

downloaded the yahoo toolbar to see my yahoo Favorites but I can't connect to them, why?
I downloaded the yahoo toolbar because it was the only way to keep them. Done that got the red flag down there and got a pop up sign in French - pressed sigh in and keep lifting the same pop. I can't get any help for yahoo or Firefox on it, it's like they don't want to hear from us. I need my favorites, and they just can't get to them.
Help, please
ydelleI'm not very familiar with MacOS, unfortunately.
Instead of using Yahoo for your bookmarks, if you can get the toolbar works on any browser, you can copy your Favorites from Yahoo to store bookmarks of your browser. On the plus side, no need for the Yahoo toolbar. On the other hand, your bookmarks are not synchronized at Yahoo to make them usable in different browsers.
Which makes the transfer is to export the toolbar (for example, in Safari) to HTML format and then import using the import HTML your browser feature.
- Help Helpcentral | - SLN4736 - import or export your existing Yahoo Bookmarks (see the attached screenshots for examples)
- Importing bookmarks from an HTML file
In case it works without the toolbar, here's the URL for the page of export (from the toolbar US): https://us.data.toolbar.yahoo.com/v1/bm/tools?.intl=us

Remove the Yahoo toolbar in Firefox 12
I can't get rid of the Yahoo toolbar in Firefox 12. It does not arise in extensions or add-ons.
I have eliminated all programs of Yahoo (toolbar, IM and update programs) in the Control Panel Add/Remove programs.
I restarted Firefox in safe mode. There is still no Yahoo modules or Extensions that appear.
I then went to help. Troubleshooting information | See file
I clicked on the record Show.
There is a folder called "Yahoo! Inc.". When I open Yahoo Inc., there is another folder called ytoolbar. I deleted Yahoo! Inc. when Firefox was open and it was closed. As soon as I restart Firefox, the file of Yahoo Inc. is recreated.
I can't remove the Yahoo Inc. folder permanently.
It is an invasive program.
How can I get rid of him?
The problem is resolved. I deleted a subdirectory in the Extensions folder, even if no extension was visible. Here is a screenshot:
http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/319/extensionssubdirectoryamw.jpgHere's where the folder:
C:\Users\KHS\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\is9gtev5.default\extensionsThe subdirectory highlighted contained a lot of Yahoo. So I just blew the whole subdirectory. The other key point is that the subdirectory is born at the date of installation of Yahoo.
Problem is solved.
