I may have accidentally installed a fake YAHOO toolbar for Mozilla. How do I unintall this? Thanks!
I cannot send out emails from Yahoo since last night when I clicked on an update for my toolbar. Today I received what are obviously 2 fake emails from YAHOO asking for personal information so the problem can be "fixed".
Is there a way for me to uninstall the upgraded YAHOO toolbar for Mozilla? Thank you!

Since you say you installed a FAKE Yahoo! Toolbar update, then-
Task 1- Open the Add-ons Manager in Firefox (Press Ctrl + Shift + A). Now un-install the extensions and plug-ins which have Yahoo! in their name.
If you cannot un-install the extensions (there is no option), then disable them.
Task 2- The fake toolbar might be containing malware in it blocking access to components of Yahoo Mail. Please do a full scan of your system using free version of Malwarebytes Anti-malware-

Remove all malware found.
TASK 3 - Yahoo Mail should now be working again. If it still doesn't please un-install all your extensions. Now delete the following ENTRIES in registry (do not delete the registry key, just it's entries)-
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Firefox\Extensions
Re-install your extensions after this.
