I want mozilla to stop automatically updating. Every time it updates it gets worse! I am being forced to have Yahoo take over my PC. Every time I restart it automatically goes to yahoo search, yahoo goes into my cookies even when I haven't used yahoo, not only that, but it puts hidden cookies on too...try to disguise them. I am getting fed up now and as much as I hate OE I am using it more now. I want to choose what I have on my PC not have someone else make thoose dicissions for me, by putting things on my PC I DO NOT WANT

hello, i'm not sure how the problem you're describing would be related to firefox updates - it rather sounds like adware on your pc: Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page

It has happened since the last update! not before! each time I restart FF the search engine in top right hand side of FF tool bar automatically goes to yahoo. When I try to load a page, for some reason it goes to yahoo search engine; Yahoo adds it's self to my cookies when I DO NOT use yahoo as does google. I empty my cookies, but as soon as I open another tab...hey! theres yahoo settled into my cookies! I do NOT like yahoo and I should decide if I want it on my PC not have FF putting it there for me.
