Did you install the Yahoo Toolbar as an add-on? If so, see Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page.

Otherwise, you can use the Search Reset add-on to easily restore your default Firefox search settings and home page.

Note that your System Details List shows multiple Flash plugins.

  1. Shockwave Flash 11.8 r800
  2. Shockwave Flash 11.7 r700

You can check the Flash player installation folder for multiple Flash player plugins and remove older version(s) of the plugin (NPSWF32).

  • (32 bit Windows) C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\
  • (64 bit Windows) C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\

You can find the installation path of all plugins on the about:plugins page.
There is no need to toggle the plugin.expose_full_path pref to true in Firefox 22 and later, so leave this pref set to false.

See "Manually uninstalling a plugin":


Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.
