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.
For reference
Extensions, plugins, and themes are considered add-ons. Here is how you uninstall them.
Extensions:
1. On the menu bar, select Tools
2. Add-ons
3. Select the add-on you want to uninstall.
4. Click Uninstall . Again when prompted
You will need to restart Firefox
Plugins:
For plugins, you can disable them 1. In the add-ons window, select the Plugins Panel
2. Select the desired plugin.
3. Click Disable
You may need to restart Firefox
If you want to uninstall a plug in:
A plethora of plugins come with their own uninstall wizards, see Popular plugins for steps on how to uninstall common plugins
If you are having trouble uninstalling a plugin, see Manually uninstalling a plugin
Themes:
1. In the add-ons window, select the Themes Panel
2. Select the theme you want to uninstall
3. Click Uninstall. Again when prompted
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.
