Is it necessary that Yahoo be an integral part of Firefox 4?
I find this very annoying. I choose a site from a google list and often (not always) Yahoo tells me the site does not exist. However, when I try again, the correct page usually loads.

Yahoo isn't built into Firefox 4.0, as long as you installed Firefox 4.0 from an official Mozilla download mirror web site. There is a Yahoo version of Firefox 4.0, maybe that's what you installed?
No, Yahoo has nothing to do with Firefox. Are you using a Yahoo toolbar or Yahoo Search Engine?
If that's the case (and I'm not sure) how can I reinstall Firefox?
{Ctrl + Shft + A} - then click on Extensions, to view your installed Extensions. Do any Yahoo extensions appear in that listing? If so uninstall them or it.
If not, download Firefox 4.0 from here:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/
Then uninstall your current version and install the newly downloaded official version.
Do not select the option to uninstall Firefox personal data and customizations when you uninstall your current version.
