The new Firefox announcement always opens and the Yahoo Toolbar update tab always opens. I'd like to turn them off.

I know I can go to about:config but don't know which to change.

hello Flag88, this will likely be caused by the user.js file in your profile folder. go to the firefox menu ≡ > help ? > troubleshooting information, click on profile folder/show folder and close all firefox windows afterwards. a windows explorer window should open up - in there delete the file named user.js and restart the browser afterwards.
