Firefox presented new issues that are disconcerting.

1. Yahoo Toolbar SEARCH no longer works with an ENTER. The Firefox SEARCH box still works but don't know if the issue is Yahoo or Firefox as it started with ver 16. I refuse to use the Firefox SEARCH box as it loves BING and I dislike BING.

2. With ver 16, the entire page will no longer populate. Some videos that you have to manually start requires you to satisfy Firefox "start arrow" as it put ANOTHER little arrow on TOP of the sites Arrow to play. So you have to press the Firefox one then the site one. And, certain sites use BLOCKS for text and those blocks will not load without the little Arrow from Firefox being pressed. This really slows down internet use. It started with either ver 16 i think and not 16.01.

Hi,

The updated Yahoo toolbar seems to be okay: http://us.toolbar.yahoo.com/

If problems persist, you can reset Firefox, install the toolbar first and check.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.

To Reset Firefox do the following:

  1. Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
  2. Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
  3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
  4. Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.


Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.
