When I am on one of my favorite adult sites, Yahoo safesearch pops in and will not let me view what I want. I love Firefox but I an going to have to stop using it.

I have changed the safesearch preferences dozens of times. I have removed Yahoo as a search engine, I have no Yahoo add-ons. I have spent hours searching for this solution on Mozilla help and on the web. Nothing works. Help!

You are using a search engine internal to the site? I don't see why an internal search engine would be affected by Yahoo or its settings, unless the site has embedded Yahoo (which would be strange, and perhaps contrary to terms of service).

Perhaps you have some other add-on or external software which is filtering your web use?
