Hi,

If you have another Yahoo application installed, there may be a legitimate helper app that runs in the background and detects changes to Yahoo settings and reverts it. You can check for any such program in the Start menu and also in the OS Control Panel Programs and Features (Add/Remove Programs). Please also check Tools (Alt + T) > Add-ons, click Extensions on the left, for any Yahoo add-ons and try disabling it or change it's settings.

Regarding the second issue: In Firefox, Help (Alt + H) > Troubleshooting Information > Open Containing Folder. This opens your current Profile Folder & Files. Exit Firefox and delete the files (not the folder) named extensions.*.
