I dont' want the Yahoo toolbar either, especially if Yahoo doesn't give me an obvious way to opt out and remove. insight2action@verizon.net

Firefox does not come with the Yahoo Toolbar or any other such add-ons. It was probably installed with some other item that you downloaded and installed. WATCH DURING DOWNLOAD AND INSTALLATION OF EVERYTHING FOR OPT-OUT OPTIONS!!

Thanks for the link TXGuy. I dislike Yahoo too-- I installed it by accident. (Google is better anyway)

Thanks for the pointers!

I specifically opted out of Damned Yahell Toolbar and other options. But it installed itself anyway. I removed it from the machine, but I cannot get it out of FF. I guess I will have to do a complete uninstall and install... Hopefully that will work.

This option does not work. I opted out of installing the toolbar 3 times during installation of IM, but it still installed. It keeps saying restart Firefox to keep your changes. I am going to try firefox safe mode though.
