How do I keep Firefox from switching to Yahoo? I get a site and then yahoo comes up and tells me the site is unavailable! Help!!!
When i select a link, Firefox initially allows me go there and then very shortly thereafter, switches me to Yahoo with the message "site not found." Is there a way to block Yahoo completely--or at least keep this from happening? I use Google for my searches. Please help!

You seem to be using the Block.si content blocking software, so you need to check there if this site is blocked and if necessary contact the person that installed this software if you didn't do that yourself.

Do you notice any pattern to this, for example, does it occur with certain sites or types of sites?
In case one of your extensions is involved, could you test the same action in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode.
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled (Flash and other plugins still run)
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (not Reset)
Any difference?

I click on Animation and that goes to: Then I click on the Female Facial Animation icon and it gets forwarded to: https://search.yahoo.com/yhs/errorhandler?hspart=gt&hsimp=yhse-gt&q=static2.nexusmods.com%2F110%2Fmods%2F110%2Fimages%2F35303-1-1367033694&type=406257
It was suggested that I try Addblock plus. It did not work so I removed it.
Is there any other advice to block yahoo so that I can get my Skyrim addons ?
Thanks in advance,
