I have picked up yahoo search and it won't remove. doesn't appear in add ons or toolbars or programs on computer or in registry. I deleted and reloaded firefox and its still there.

yahoo is not in my search engines.

So, if I understand correctly, when you open a new tab, instead of being blank, it's the yahoo search page?

If that is the case, try this set of instructions and see if it fixes the problem: http://medicine-opera.com/2010/03/how-to-disable-yahoos-theft-of-firefoxs-open-a-new-tab/
