"Yahoo! optimized Firefox" - what is it and should I install?
I got this popup: Attention: Please upgrade to the latest browser from Yahoo! optimized to ensure the best Yahoo! experience.
Not interested in getting all yahoo search features such as additional bar, tab, etc unless they are really useful. Don't want to go through the hassle of the lead if it's useless.
Thank you
This has happened
Just once or twice
Op: Yep, he installed not only the crapbar of Yahoo, it has also changed the search engine by default to Yacrap and it has also changed the search box quick Navigation of Firefox for Yacrap bar. An hour later I deleted it and changed back to Google which required to go in everything: config and change everything he (scary for me). Not easy to find answers on how to uninstall all the changes he made.

Update to FF4.0 and manually restart again.
Open the window and toolbar Yahoo was for the most part disappeared, except for the white search box and the search button. Both are currently disabled. All the other buttons who were with my Yahoo TB disappeared.
Went to FF site using google search.
Yahoo toolbar who worked with search FF4. Followed the steps but FF continues to say: "you are currently using Firefox 2.0.0.20. This has happened in two places. It is not recognizing that I upgraded to FF4. How can I fix it? Thank you very much!If a site indicates that you have a previous version after installing Firefox, you need to modify a hidden preference. This preference may have been added by an extension and will be cause of your problem.
- Type of topic: config in the address bar and press on enter
- Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
- Locate the general.useragent.overridepreference, right-click on it and choose reset
- Restart Firefox and it should correctly identify that you have Firefox 4

What is a 6to4 adapter and should I worry, it is not listed in the network card?
I was surfing the web and found references to map Microsoft 6to4. What is it and should I be worried that my PC has not listed under network card?

The best of YAHOO. on Firefox extension - nag screen
The issue began a couple of weeks. When I visit the Yahoo! News (news.yahoo.com) website, I get a nag screen to install an extension called the best of YAHOO. on Firefox. I don't want to install the extension, so I have to click Cancel to continue. The nag screen continues to pop whenever I try to navigate to another point of press. I would like to know how to disable this nag screen permanently. I've attached a screenshot of the nag screen. Thank you in advance for your help!
I tried to empty the cache and delete cookies below. None of them helped. However, I have a click right on the screen of horse and selected see the source of the page. I found the entry identifier div = "yset-search-upsell-container". Further down, I selected the entry and use AdBlock more to hide. Then I went back to news.yahoo.com and clicked on several articles and the nag popup does not appear. I hope it's a permanent solution!

I just downloaded Firefox 5.0.1 and one of the themes I want to download and try says it works with Firefox 4.0b9pre - 7.0a1. Upstairs, however, it is said that the theme is not available for my platform. He arrived with a few other themes as well, but I didn't check what versions they work with. I don't know what this means or what to do about it. The theme is at this link: https://addons.mozilla.org/z/en-US/firefox/addon/bloomind-ft-deepdark-2/
It is said:
'Bloomind FT DeepDark 2' is a theme that was created to transform the look of Firefox 4 for Windows users. It was specially designed for the seven, but the rendering is quite specific on XP and Linux (I can t test on MAC, but for those who would like to try on this platform, you can force the download and install it).
So try to save this file using the context menu.

I'm unable to open all the links on yahoo (yahoo example) of my browser firefox in normal format sports stories. When I click on a link to yahoo using firefox it switches to yahoo mobile and if this story is not available on mobile I can't read. I like to use Firefox, but I'm to so annoyed not being able to use yahoo properly I have to stop using it. I have a feeling that it might be an add on because it can't get on my desktop computer at home, but I am usually on my laptop, and want to be able to use yahoo with firefox.
Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.
See "create a profile":
- https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/Profile-Manager-create-and-remove-Firefox-profiles
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting on the problem.
