I'm not sure what you might have from Yahoo, so here are several things: '''Restore Home Page''' * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page#w_restore-the-default-home-page '''Remove the Yahoo Toolbar''' # "Ctrl+Shift+A" (Add-ons Manager) # Select Puzzle piece on left-side for Extensions List # Find "Yahoo Toolbar" and click on "Uninstall" button, and restart Firefox. ''(if you really need to keep the Yahoo toolbar, you can hide the toolbar instead with customize, and still change all the search defaults as below)'' '''Then to fix the default search engine''' used at the Location Bar, change the value of '''keyword.URL''' in '''about:config''' to one of the values shown in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Location_Bar_search#Location_Bar_search_.28external_-_search_engine.29 Location Bar search] at MozillaZine. * Google Search (Google search results page)<br>'''http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=''' # type in '''about:config''' into the location bar (in a new tab) # if the warning message nonsense comes up ''uncheck'' the box '''before''' dismissing the dialog message # '''filter on keyword''' # right-click on '''keyword.URL''' and choose "modify" then paste in the Google search engine string of your choice. # '''filter on defaulturl''' # right-click on '''browser.search.defaulturl''' ''(if it exists)''and again choose "modify" then paste in the Google search engine string of your choice. # '''filter on ytff''' # right-click on '''yahoo.ytff.search.popup_src''' ''(if it exists)'' and again choose "modify" then paste in the Google search engine string of your choice, if adventurous might see if "reset" would remove and see if gone in next session (well not for those keeping the extension). '''Avoiding the problems:''' Many software installations contain additional baggage known as crapware. The Yahoo Toolbar is packaged with Java [http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/266/javainstall.png/ picture] More information on ask.com, Yahoo Toolbars which involve extensions, not just changes to the home page. * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions * Uninstalling toolbars - MozillaZine Knowledge Base<br>http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_toolbars ---- You can make '''Firefox 6.0.2''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.'' * http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface There is a lot more beyond those first 10 steps listed, if you want to make Firefox more functional.

Thank you. It will take me awhile and some courage to try your fix.
