I found this online and I hope it helps

There are two ways to remove the Yahoo! Toolbar for Mozilla Firefox.

The easiest way is to use the "Uninstall" menu item:

   Click the Pencil menu.
   Click "Uninstall".
   Enter any feedback you'd like to send to Yahoo! about why you're uninstalling the toolbar.
   Click "Uninstall".
   Restart your browser.

If that doesn't work, you can also use the Extension Manager in Firefox to remove the Yahoo! Toolbar extension:

   Click the "Tools" menu in the Firefox browser.
   Click the "Extensions" menu item.
   In the Extensions Manager window scroll until you find the Yahoo! Toolbar extension.
   Click the Yahoo! Toolbar extension.
   Click "Uninstall".
   Click "OK" in the "Uninstall Yahoo! Toolbar" window.
   Exit Extensions Manager and restart your browser.

Either one of these methods will uninstall Yahoo! Toolbar from your browser. If neither works, your user profile is corrupt. You might need to create a new user profile for your browser.
