good way to request help from other Firefox users, threaten to get rid of Firefox and go back to IE - a 10 year old's solution when they can't have their way or attempted extortion when it comes to an adult doing that --- and that ain't even Firefox's fault

I hope this fix posted works. For the last two weeks, I've gone 80% of my browsing to Chrome. If this doesn't, I'm uninstalling Firefox, burning my T-shirt, and blogging my experiences.

Tell ya what there "meister", if people don't like it, they vote with their feet, a 10 year old would take it. Maybe you like being a beta tester, I don't

Removing the Yahoo toolbar via the Windows Control Panel was easy. Removing Yahoo from my Firefox menu bar involved removing all Yahoo programs (update, Messenger, toolbar). I downloaded Yahoo Messenger again, and made sure every box for options was not checked. No more Yahoo polluting my Firefox menu!

Glad to hear it

I was having a similar problem when using Firefox 7. Even though I believed that Google was my default search engine, ever since I upgraded to Fox7, Yahoo would pop-up to take over. I looked for answers, but none worked for me, even the one about altering the "keyword.url" with the google search engine by entering "about:config" at the address prompt.

Ans: What finally worked was to assign "www.google.com/firefox" as my "Home Page" in Firefox 7's "Tools/Options/Home Page" in the General Tab.
