How can I get rid of the Yahoo search and home page in Firefox? I've set the home page, which works when I first open FF, but then it reverts to Yahoo again.
I recently uploaded a camera driver, that came with Yahoo as a 'gift'. I saw it was loading Yahoo, but couldn't stop it in time. I hate using Yahoo and it is annoying me! I've set the home page to default to Google on the right hand tool bar. When I open FF, everything looks right, but the next search goes back to Yahoo. I even uninstalled FF, removed all my bookmarks and personal markings (which makes me sad), but Yahoo is still everpresent. What can I do?

sounds like malware fallout
Have you recently installed any software infected with OpenCandy malware? If you saw any ads DURING installation you might have used malware

Thank you. It turns out the Yahoo has stooped to malware--just as you suspected. They have made 'invisible add-ons' to FF. I was able to delete it by turning off all add-ons and reinstated those that I wished to keep.
