Yahoo Search took over my browser, how can I get rid of it?
Firefox updated itself, obviously with the version with Yahoo Search. I think that Yahoo Search is less than my good old favorite and have not been able to get rid of the Yahoo search...
Search all engines have been eliminated except for my old favorite... good yet yahoo
Reinstalled firefox to download several months... all search engines eliminated except my good old favorite. ... to yahoo.
He wrote hate mail to Yahoo called them all but white, they counted they had won and thought I should start with firefox, after all, is their browser.
How should I do to get rid of Yahoo Search?

I had the same problem - downloaded a free program and the next thing I knew, Yahoo had taken over my Firefox search bar. A solution that works for me (Windows 7, 64-bit) is to do the following:
Go to computer C: drive > Program Files (x 86) > Mozilla Firefox > searchplugins.
In the searchplugins folder, just delete the file "yahoo." Restart Firefox and voila! no more Yahoo!

Address bubble pop up when I hover over a link, how can I get rid?
Like the logo of Microsoft Answers, if I hover the mouse over the logo, a pop-up is displayed "' address: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us". "

Does not he back on Bing and clicking ok. I'm a little frustrated by that. How can I get rid of Yahoo to come as my home page when I have asked yet for her?

I downloaded ZoneAlarm firewall. There you install Chrome and choose its search engine when you download. I had heard that it was removed easily later. I have reset Google in the search bar upper at right.
Now Firefox starts OK, but every time I will use a tab to open another search ZoneAlarm window is in the address bar and in the area of research of the Center, and Google search is in the top right search bar. How can I get rid of all ZoneAlarm search everywhere?I have the latest version of Firefox and Windows 8.1.
You can check if you have the search engine of ZoneAlarm file in the browser\searchplugins folder in the Firefox program or in the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:
- Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)
You can delete the search.json file and the possible search - metadata.json and the search.sqlite files in the profile folder of Firefox to reset the default search engines.
Firefox will rebuild the file search.json from the default search engines in the "browser\searchplugins" folder in the program of Firefox and the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.

The new default browser is called ask.com and it showed up after I installed a program to download faster. I uninstalled the new program from my computer and add0ons, but it is still throw me back to new default browser even after I installed firefox four times. It's irriating and it just doesn't seem to go away. How can I get rid of him without losing bookmarks and information?
You can use the SearchReset extension to reset preferences to default values.
Note that the SearchReset extension runs only once and then uninstalls automatically, so it will not appear on the page "> Firefox Add-ons" (topic: addons).
You can do a search on the topic: config a page to ask.com

How can I get rid of the toolbar Yahoo, which has been installed without my permission?
All I wanted was to download a Power Point Player. Instead, I had I don't know how many modules that I never asked and have now TWO toolbars of Yahoo at the top of my Firefox browser! How can I get rid of these? I tried to install a previous version of Firefox, which has not helped at all. Apparently, Firefox can remember everything you have ever done because toolbars are still there. I really get off on sites web loading things on my computer without my permission. Please help, everybody!
VERY DANGEROUS as there are KNOWN security flaws that make it very likely your machine will become infected.

I rarely use tabs, so the tab bar was always hidden. from yesterday, when I opened firefox a "search" tab is present. A single tab is also present. The 'search' tab is very similar to the search button on the right side of the navigation bar. It is therefore redundant.
How can I get rid of this "search" tab?
Thank you very much. Microsoft Security Essentials was unable to detect it and let it turn off my computer. I think there must have been on my computer with an update of my Firefox. I am extremely disappointed by Firefox because of this and the fact that I can't hide the tab line. I know that I can laugh with a plug-in to hide the line of the tab, but it is more time. Remove the possibility to hide something is simply STUPID. I want you to give me a feature that I never use, fine, but please do not take to something that I never use the two lines on my screen.
