Does the Yahoo toolbar have a pencil icon? If it does click on it and there should be an option to uninstall the toolbar.

For other options see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_toolbars

I don't have a pencil icon. But further sleuthing said to click on "Add-ons" under the Tool menu. Then click on "Extensions" and there will be the option to uninstall the yahoo toolbar. Hope it works!
