Yahoo is showing up when I search. I've wasted lots of time selecting Google as my default browser.

Before this annoyance I was very happy with Firefox, now I'm going to see if I'm happy using Chrome.

Looks like you took a page from Apple & U2, another unpleasant foisting of garbage.

I'm so disappointed. And sad to stop using Firefox.

Type about:addons<enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager. Hot key; (<Control> [Mac=<Command>] <Shift> A)

In the Add-ons Manager, on the left, select Extensions. Remove “ Yahoo “ Anything.

Also remove SafeSearch, SearchAssist Incognito, FileConverter Addon, SearchLock, DiscreteSearch, WebSearch, Findwide Search Engine

Now do the same in the computer’s Programs Folder.

Windows: Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs. Mac: Open the Applications folder. Linux: Check your user manual.
