The Yahoo search engine is not listed as an add-on or extention, but there it is at the top of my home page. How do I get rid of it?

When I check the tools/add-on/extensions , the Yahoo toolbar is not listed as being on my PC. Therefore, I cannot uninstall it. Nevertheless, it is positioned to the right of the Firefox address bar, taking up unnecessary room.

Check the Window control panel for Yahoo.

  • From the Start menu, select Control Panel
  • Open the list of installed programs:
    • If in icon view, click Programs and Features
    • If in category view, under "Programs", click Uninstall a program
  • In the list of programs select the program, and then click Uninstall.

Yahoo search tool bar is not listed anywhere,neither my PC nor the Firefox extensions, therefore I am unable to delete it.
