Yahoo cannot be deleted as opening page

Windows uses 10 and now, everytime I open Firefox I am presented with a page of Yahoo. The craze is not working. I would be grateful for any ideas, I'm starting to hate Yahoo.

Don't change your homepage to work even for a short time? You are familiar with the steps to put the home page on the Options page:

After setting, if you press Ctrl + n to start a new window, the correct home page appear? Or if you click the Home button in the toolbar?

If the amendment works until you exit Firefox and start it again:

One thing to consider is if you have an optional settings file named user.js in your profile (personal settings folder) folder. If it is present, Firefox it will use to start to override your preferences since the previous session. You can check and delete the file by following the steps in this article: How to fix preferences that will not save.

Note: by default, Windows hides file .js extension and a few others. To work with files as accurately as possible, I suggest showing all extensions. This article from Microsoft has steps (not sure that it is still accurate for Windows 10): http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/wi.../show-hide-file-name-extensions.

You can also check if you have Advanced SystemCare or another program that monitors the browser settings changes and restores them.

If Firefox has continually ignores the setting of the home page or in the previous section does not resolve the problem:

You may have a bad add-on. Here's my method of tracking down and cleaning of the bad modules, the air pirates and injectors ad. I know it seems long, but it's not so bad.

(1) open the Control Panel, uninstall a program. After the loading of the list, click on the column heading "installed on" to group infections, I mean additions by date. This can help the undisclosed items bundle smoker who snuck out with some software, you have agreed to install. Beware of everything that you don't recognize / remember, since malware often uses sounding names important or innocent to discourage you remove. Out as much garbage as possible here.

(2) open Firefox page modules using either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
  • in the Windows "Run" dialog box, type or paste
    firefox.exe "about:addons"

In the left column, click on Plugins. Set essential and unrecognized plugins 'never enable '.

In the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt, disable (or delete, if possible) not recognized and unwanted extensions. Do not forget that all extensions are optional, none come with Firefox, and you can learn more about them by checking their reviews on the site of the Add - ons.

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.

Any improvement?

(3) you can search the rest of problems with scanning/cleaning tools listed in our technical support article: Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware. These scanners on request are free and take a long time to run. If they end quickly, especially if they require the payment you have a serious infection. I suggest the specialty forums listed in the article in this case.

Success?
