The Yahoo toolbar add-on becoming disabled in Firefox 43 is a known issue that Mozilla and Yahoo are working on. In this particular case you can follow the instructions for advanced users in the Add-on signing in Firefox article (toggle the xpinstall.signatures.required preference to false in the Firefox configuration Editor) but this is only a temporary solution which will no longer work in Firefox 44 future Firefox versions.

Hi, it's likely that you were using an unsigned version which is no longer supported, so please try this signed Yahoo Toolbar add-on instead.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

Hi again, sorry you are having so much trouble with this. It now seems that this is a bug, and the engineering team is currently working with the folks at Yahoo to get this fixed.

marked as solved using the current "best solution" locking this thread

Followup: There's been an update to the Yahoo toolbar add-on that resolves the problem. If you have set the xpinstall.signatures.required preference to false in the Firefox Configuration Editor (about:config page) as a workaround, you can go back now and reset the preference to true.
