Any attempt to use the add-on dialog redirects to the following URL:

I've run an Avast boot scan with found nothing. I've run CCleaner and found nothing.

My Google search turned up a few other people with this issue but no definitive answer.

Chosen solution

getpersonas.com is not a virus as that is where you could get the lightweight Themes before aka toolbar wallpaper basically. It now leads to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/themes/ where both the Personas and the Real complete Themes are listed.

Your Yahoo search page link says "DNS Solution Yahoo Error Handler" in title bar and on bottom there is a Learn More link which is http://www.mybrowserbar.com/searchsettings.html?cnid=0&ccv=0&ct=
