I thought malware attacked me, but I see it is Yahoo that caused the problem I guess. I just clicked on what I thought was a usual Mozilla update when turning on the computer a few days ago, and paid no attention, but I did wrong I guess.

I want to export my Mozilla favorites on what appears to be "Mozilla Firefox Yahoo! Edition yahoo - 1.17 "and try uninstalling Mozilla and starting over. Then import my favs. How do I export my favorites to a file so I can import them again all fresh. I see no options anywhere to do this and help doesn't show how to do this with Yahoo Hijacking me.

Thanks

Your personal data is unaffected when uninstalling, as long as you don't check the "Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations" option. You can create a bookmarks backup in JSON format. It's specific to Firefox and when imported, it replaces your current set of bookmarks. Or you can export bookmarks in HTML format. It's common to all browsers, and when imported, it adds bookmarks to your current set.

That being said, it should be enough to remove MySearchDial and Yahoo! Toolbar from the Add-ons Manger, Extensions category.

I also strongly recommend fully scanning your system with the anti-malware applications listed in the following article.
