Why doesn't Yahoo toolbar 3.2.3.20140507025036 let me add, remove or rearrange my apps and are not displayed under "edit apps" for Firefox 35.0?
I have tried uninstalling and installing not only the Yahoo toolbar, but Firefox itself. I also ran CCleaner registry this AM. I can add Firefox icons for websites, but not my own. I can only delete icons by right-clicking on them in the toolbar. I'm frustrated because Firefox always worked so well before with older programs. I'm hooked on Firefox, so please help me fix this. I'm not a technical computer person. I see you've listed my plug-ins below; do you see a problem with them? Should I have my plug-ins "always activate" or "ask to activate"? Thanks for any help you can give me.

Remove Yahoo Toolbar, then do a full install. Is there a reason you need the toolbar? Why not use the built in search engines? Note: you can add Yahoo, or any site to your Search Engine Manager.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} While you are in safe mode;
Type about:preferences#advanced<Enter> in the address bar.
Under Advanced, Select General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.
Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?
Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause Firefox issues. Disable All of them.
Thanks, but it didn't help. I always learn a little more when I "poke around." I'll keep trying...
Do you mean that you can't drag items on a toolbar when the customize window is open?
- "3-bar" Firefox menu button > Customize
- View > Toolbars > Customize
I worded my question wrong. I have Firefox 35.0. My issue is with the Yahoo toolbar, not the Firefox installed toolbars. The Yahoo toolbar worked fine until about a week ago. I have used Firefox with a Yahoo toolbar (with upgrades) since July 2011, so I don't understand what is happening. Do you have a suggestion for another toolbar app for Firefox similar to Yahoo (so I can add my own web pages)?

Through this forum, you guys have encouraged me to discover what I can do. I "poked around" last night before I got your last solution. I never bothered to understand what the "Most Visited" toolbar does. Now my websites are right there with less work to organize than the Yahoo toolbar. That problem solved. I really only needed the Yahoo toolbar for my mail and bookmarks, so now with your latest solution, I will "poke around" some more and see what the Search Engine Manager can do and possibly get rid of the Yahoo toolbar. Thanks so much!

If you know the web address, go there manually, then bookmark if in the Bookmarks Toolbar.
I'm getting there--I just need to figure out what to do with (where to put) my Yahoo bookmarks.
In the Bookmarks Manager. If you want, create a new folder for them.
Done! Bookmarks toolbar complete with my mail and other favorites. I also imported Yahoo bookmarks w/ folders (+copy in hard drive). Thanks, now I don't have to look at the Yahoo logo.
Glad to help. Safe Surfing.
