You could try running ADW Cleaner (from the Malwarebytes team) to make sure nothing nasty got added to your browser. Link - ADW Cleaner

Yeah, you’ e got some malware on there, that isn’t a Firefox issue. I’d follow Chucky’s advice. Don’t trust most “scanners” you find on the internet, but malwarebytes is ok.

Be sure to run in safe mode. That ADW cleaner combines about 2-3 tools that were the usual recipe for this stuff since Malwarebytes bought up some companies. Hitman Pro was another, but I think it may have gone paid but with a free trial.

Have you installed any programs or apps lately ? If so it may have had an option to install Yahoo as a "bonus" at some point during the install that you didn't notice.

I’m stunned that Yahoo is even still around. I’m always baffled with Yahoo still going strong in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Most peeps around here say Yahoo simply vibrates much better with local topics than any other portals. Cheers, Slug
