Can't Remove Yahoo as Homepage
I have been reading the support pages for over a week and have tried many fixes that worked for others but doesn't work for me. I have tried the following: Reset FF Removed FF New Install from mozilla.org Removed all add ons But still my home page goes to: http://us.yhs4.search.yahoo.com/yhs/web?preview=1&hspart=adk&hsimp=yhs-adk_sychp I have lost years of bookmarks because of this darn homepage with yahoo. I don't even know how it happened. I have tried many other ways to remove yahoo but can't remember them as the list is long...
Can anyone please give me some easy directions on how to remove yahoo as my homepage?

Many of these I had tried prior to asking for help. But I think what finally did the trick this time was the instruction on how to Delete Firefox on your site. When I had previously removed firefox, I didn’t remove it the way these instructions stated. I had previously removed it from my control panel/programsandfeatures. But as soon as I deleted this folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox & then went to my downloads folder and reinstalled firefox, Alleluia, it worked!!!! Thank You so very much. I hope this is allowed but I had copied the following from your site on the steps I took to fix my homepage. Hopefully, this will also help someone else with the same problem. Have a wonderful evening…
