I cannot save a web address to bookmarks. Every attempt diverts me to a Yahoo page asking me to set up a new Yahoo email account- which I do not want.

Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

How about with a new, empty profile? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic%20Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile

How are you adding a site to bookmarks (Ctrl + D, clicking star, Bookmarks menu, etc)?
