Firefox automatically updated to version 30 yesterday & NOW my Yahoo Toolbar has disappeared & doesn't show up even in the View/Toolbars of the Menu.... Although when I check the AddOn Extensions it's showing as installed & Enabled, but it's not working... How do I fix this?

Your Firefox reported itself as version 16.0. Could you try the fix in the first section of this article: How to reset the default user agent on Firefox.

Firefox 30 switched more plugins from "Always Activate" to "Ask to Activate". You may need to switch your Yahoo-related plugins back to "Always Activate" if the toolbar needs them. You can open the Add-ons page using either:

  • Ctrl+Shift+a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons

In the left column, click Plugins. I'm not sure which plugins are the Yahoo ones, but presumably you can determine that from their names and descriptions.

To test, try opening a new window (Ctrl+n) or new private window (Ctrl+Shift+p). Any improvement?
