Please refer to "Problematic Extensions" for specific information and removal instructions on how to uninstall the "Yahoo Toolbar". The usual cause of of it bring installed is from crapware preselected/suggested during a Java install or update.

Yahoo Toolbar messes up Location Bar Search
Remove the Yahoo Toolbar
- "Ctrl+Shift+A" (Add-ons Manager)
- Select Puzzle piece on left-side for Extensions List
- Find "Yahoo Toolbar" and click on "Uninstall" button
Then to fix the default search engine used at the Location Bar, change the value of keyword.URL in about:config to one of the values shown in Location Bar search at MozillaZine.
- Google Search (Google search results page)
http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
- type in about:config into the location bar
- if the warning message nonsense comes up uncheck the box before dismissing the dialog message
- filter on keyword
- right-click on keyword.URL and choose "modify" then paste in the Google search engine string of your choice.
More information on configuration variables available in about:config entries and for users not familiar with the process there is about:config (How to change).
