How do I get Yahoo to back off?

more options

Finally and unfortunately I have reached the point where I have completely removed Mozilla from my system. It is apparent they have sold their souls to Yahoo. Constant pop-ups and attempts to make a Yahoo a default, it being added to my browser even though I said "no" and then once added, it removes my menu bar and my web page bar so I was forced to use Yahoo's, is totally unacceptable. And good friggin luck getting ahold of anyone at Mozilla, perhaps they are too busy playing golf with the executives at Yahoo?!? I was a long time fan of Mozilla but the constant push for Yahoo and the constant issues with it crashing, non connect to websites and the force to use Yahoo, has more than changed my mind. Sounds like Mozilla is going the way of Netscape and Explorer. Can anyone recommend another browser that isn't out pushing an agenda?? I am sick about this but have uninstalled Mozilla for the last time, not doing the reinstall just to get rid of things I was forced to install, Mozilla is just not worth the time anymore. Good luck mess-illa. I have VERY disappointed. Guess its simply another sign of the times and one more train wreck in the Silicon Valley. Catch ya later! Sorry for the bad new, I am just a customer that is burnt out on you all! Much luck to you all, with this stuff going on, you all will need it!

You have something else on that PC that keeps installing that Yahoo crap, it sure as hell isn't Mozilla. Google is and always has been Mozilla's partner for search engines.
