Reset is greyed out so that's NOT an option! I'm using Windows 7, firefox version 37, google search and firefox/google homepage. Yahoo hijacked my search and I now have it back to google AND I've deleted everything in about:config attached to yahoo, EXCEPT these two. My search is now fine. I just don't want yahoo anything connected to search. I NOW see that I have: Yahoo Application State Plugin version 1.0.0.7. Can I/should I delete this Plugin? iF so, how do I delete it? Not sure where it even came from? Please give me step-by-step and "dumb it down" for me. Any AND all help will be appreciated! Thanks ahead of time!

  1. Check to see if "Yahoo Application State Plugin version 1.0.0.7" is listed when you navigate to the Firefox Menu (three horizontal line button) > Add Ons (puzzle piece icon). Click on "Plugins" and click remove under the title.
  2. Open the profile folder to see if you see a directory with the title. Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data
  3. Last resort, export all of the data you want to keep and create a new profile to move the personal data over without it-> Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles

I hope this helps.

guigs2,

Thank you so much! Indeed, "Yahoo Application State Plugin version 1.0.0.7" was there. Since there was no choice to remove/delete it there, I was able to get rid of it by deleting a plugin file which was: npYState.dll

Here is the info and where I found it if anyone needs it in the future: http://techdows.com/2015/02/how-to-remove-yahoo-application-state-plugin-in-firefox.html

Removing Yahoo Application State Plugin in Firefox

1. Visit about:plugins url in the browser

2. Note down the path of the plugin file npYState.dll and close Firefox browser, navigate to ‘C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Shared ‘and delete it.

3. When you open Firefox and check installed plugins, Application State Plugin won’t be there.

Thanks Again!

Not a problem, however if there are any issues with it, like Hkeys or fragmented plugin files a clean reinstall/refresh might help, just check out how to make a back up of the personal stuff first: Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles
